Dutch experts have completed the recovery of the wreckage of the Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 from the crash site in Eastern Ukraine and have sent it to a government-controlled city for being transported further to Netherlands, a report said.

The Dutch Safety Board (OVV) said in a statement on Sunday that trucks carrying large parts of wreckage drove to Kharkiv on Saturday, reported News 24.

The team that is leading the probe into July 17 crash that killed all 298 people onboard will also reconstruct parts of the Boeing 777 aircraft in Netherlands as part of their investigation.

Kiev and the western nations claimed that the plane was shot down in conflict-torn eastern Ukraine by separatists using a surface-to-air missile supplied by Moscow, a claim that was denied by Russia.

 

Experts began removing the MH17 wreck a week ago under the auspices of monitors from the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) amid fears that a full-scale conflict may start again in the area.
