Among the 14 victims, seven were Dutch and seven were of other nationalities. The Boeing 777 exploded over eastern Ukraine on 17 July, killing all 298 on board. 193 of the passengers were Dutch.

Last month, forensics experts suspended their search for bodies due to clashes between eastern Ukraine and the pro-Russian rebels near the crash site northeast of Donetsk.

The same day, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said it was still "too dangerous" for investigators to visit the site, and that the Dutch investigators left in Ukraine would return to the Netherlands.
