Pro-Russian separatists have said that they had discovered objects that appear to be black boxes of the Malaysian Airlines MH17 and were ready to hand them over to international investigators.
The statement came from Alexander Borodai Prime Minister of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic, reports news24.
Borodai said that the bodies would be kept in refrigerated carts until the investigators arrive.
The separatists said that the PM had ordered to take the bodies away because it was brutal to keep them in those conditions.
They could not wait any longer due to the presence of dogs and other wild animals in the area, said Borodai.
