A train with the bodies of Malaysian airliner's crash victims has arrived in the east Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, the city's railway station press service said on Tuesday.
"The train has recently arrived. Everyone, including city officials, came to meet it," the information service said, without giving any further details.
