Describing the dismal state of the dead bodies of MH17 crash victims in Ukraine, US Secretary of State John Kerry has reportedly said that drunken separatists are piling dead bodies in trucks unceremoniously and tampering with evidence at the location of the crash in Donetsk region.

According to CNN, Malaysia's transportation minister has confirmed that the separatists are preventing the international team from entering the crash site.

Amidst the mounting pressure on Russia by the western countries, Vladimir Putin finally broke his silence by assuring that the nation will do everything to ensure that the international teams get unhindered access and security for probing the crash site.

However, there are several questions that remain unanswered as yet. The whereabouts of MH17's black boxes are not known. There is no clarity on what will be done with the dead bodies of the 298 crash victims and no one knows who is responsible for the attack, the report added.
