Kyiv says it will turn over crash investigation, from our news desk:

Ukraine says it will hand over control of an investigation into the Malaysian airliner crash to international experts and suggested the Netherlands should lead the process.

Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk also said in Kyiv on July 21 that Kyiv officials will allow "Western partners" to coordinate the probe into the plane's July 17 downing.

He said Ukraine is prepared to "transport all bodies to Amsterdam" for forensic tests.

Yatsenyuk said 272 bodies of the 298 passengers have been recovered from the crash site.

Dutch investigators are reportedly checking the refrigerated train cars with the bodies, near the town of Torez.

Yatsenyuk said Ukraine is convinced the plane was shot down by a missile probably fired from a Buk-M1 missile system.

Yatsenyuk said he expected nothing from Russia and Russian President Vladimir Putin should understand "it's enough already."

He said Moscow had armed and trained separatists to fight against Ukrainian soldiers. (Reuters, AFP, AP)
