'We recently learned from a Ukrainian medical officer, who coordinated recovery efforts in the first few days after the crash, that an intensive search was carried out during that time, with the help of 800 volunteers.

'I also want to express my thanks to the local population, who have played such an important role in this operation and may continue to do so in the future.'
