Here's a summary of the day's key events so far.

• Separatists handed two MH17 black boxes to a Malaysian delegation, after a separatist leader made a deal with Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak.

• Rebel leader Alexander Borodai said victims' bodies, currently in Donetsk, will travel by train to Kharkiv, where Ukrainian and Dutch recovery teams are waiting.

• Heavy fighting broke out in Donetsk between rebels and the Ukrainian military, killing five people. Many civilians evacuated from the rebel stronghold, and all were told to stay indoors. A convoy of separatist forces was seen leaving the city.

• The UN Security Council adopted a resolution demanding access to the crash site and an independent investigation, as well as a ceasefire around the area. The US ambassador accused Russia of telling separatists "We have your backs," and Russia's envoy implied the US and Ukraine were turning "tragedy into a farce". Dutch prosecutors opened a war crimes investigation into the downing of flight MH17.

• US President Barack Obama said "the burden is on Russia" to use its influence and ensure full access to the crash site, as well as to allow a "immediate and transparent investigation". The US reiterated its assertion that a SA-11 missile system shot down MH17 from separatist-controlled territory, and its suspicion of Russian aid.

• The EU is poised to increase sanctions on Russia at a meeting of foreign ministers Tuesday in Brussels. The UK and Germany have called to "raise the pressure" on Russia, but France will likely resist calls to cancel a €1.2bn contract to sell assault vehicles to Russia.



• Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said separatist should be designated "terrorists" by the international community, and denied a claim from Russia's defense ministry that a Ukrainian warplane was flying near MH17 at the time of the crash. Russian army officials denied providing a Buk missile system to separatists.

• Russia's President Vladimir Putin delivered an address after speaking with several world leaders and called for a "humanitarian corridor" to all for recover and investigation. He stopped short of calling on rebels to disarm, saying the disaster should not be used for "narrow, political reasons".
