"It was a very emotional moment, the moment the train stopped in that area somewhere in a foreign country. We had a short ceremony over there. When the train stopped we all made front, all the policemen from all the countries involved, there were several people of governments, local authorities, the Australian ambassador was there."

"One of the main important things for us - our target is to bring the people back home, bring them back to the people who they left behind and we want to do that with all the respect and all the accuracy that is needed, and that doesn't always balance with other important things like the attention of the rest of the world what is going on there."

"Tomorrow we will begin that process, the first plane will take off tomorrow and we will continue until the last victim is identified and brought home. As far as we know at this moment, we are talking about 200, and that is for sure 200 victims, which means there are probably remains left in the area where the disaster took place."
The head of the Dutch National Forensic Investigations team said on Tuesday that it was a very emotional moment when he and his colleagues met the train bearing the remains of many of the people killed when a Malaysia Airlines flight was downed over Ukraine.
Jaan Tunder was in Kharkiv with the team that will take the bodies to the Netherlands.
Of the 298 who died last Thursday, 193 were Dutch citizens.
"One of the main important things for us - our target is to bring the people back home, bring them back to the people who they left behind and we want to do that with all the respect and all the accuracy that is needed, and that doesn't always balance with other important things like the attention of the rest of the world what is going on there," Tunder told reporters.
The Dutch have widely condemned the way the bodies of loved ones have been treated in Ukraine and the fact they had not yet been returned home, days after the plane was brought down.
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said earlier his government aimed to have the first bodies returned on Wednesday.
Tunder confirmed the first plane would take off on Wednesday.
"And we will continue until the last victim is identified and brought home. As far as we know at this moment, we are talking about 200, and that is for sure 200 victims, which means there are probably remains left in the area where the disaster took place."
The delays and haphazard treatment of the bodies has put pressure on European foreign ministers meeting in Brussels to impose tougher economic sanctions on Russia.
