CRI听力:No Remains will be Left Behind:MH17 Recovery Team

Leaders of the recovery mission for Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 have again called for access to the crash site.

The comment comes after an international delegation of police and forensic experts cancelled visits to the site due to heavy fighting in eastern Ukraine.

Pieter Jaap Aalbersberg is heading the mission.

"If the experts find remains, they will be recovered immediately. We will be using a refrigerated train wagon near Torez. If the train is inaccessible for whatever reason, we will arrange other transport. We will not leave any remains behind."

A full-fledged investigation still has not begun at the crash site ten days after the disaster.
Ukraine's army has deployed more heavy weaponry in an effort to win back territory from rebels in the Donetsk region.

Officials say government troops have recaptured two rebel-held towns near the crash site.

Russia and the United States have already called for an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine, urging the government and rebels to start talks.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov also says he hopes all parties will reveal any evidence linked to the crash.

"Some of our partners have said they have had clear proof for a long time, and we hope they will show it to the public rather than cover it up with the excuse of secrecy or other reasons. Only when all the sides involved in the crash play their roles in a honest and open manner, can we make sure that the investigation is impartial and transparent."

Currently the flight data recorders of MH17 are being analyzed in Britain.

Analysts say the initial investigation suggests the plane suffered an explosive loss of pressure after it was hit by fragments believed to have come from a missile.

But it remains unclear who fired that missile.

The UN's human rights office has called for a quick investigation, saying the downing of MH17 could constitute a war crime.

Meanwhile the White House has said it expects the European Union to impose new sanctions against Russia this week.

New sanctions from the EU would target Russian finance, energy and defense sectors.
