GRABOVE, UKRAINE: Ukraine and pro-Russian insurgents agreed on Saturday to set up a security zone around the crash site of a Malaysia Airlines flight MH17, whose downing in the rebel-held east has drawn global condemnation of the Kremlin.
The head of the Ukrainian Security Service announced on Saturday that Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE)-mediated talks "concluded with an agreement to set up a 20-kilometre (12-mile) security zone so that Ukraine could fulfil the most important thing - identify the bodies (and) hand them over to relatives."
