Separatists handed the two black boxes to a Malaysian delegation, after a deal with Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak has been accomplished. A Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 with more than 280 passengers on board crashed in eastern Ukraine on 17 July. The plane went down between the city of Donetsk and the Russian border, an area that has seen heavy fighting between separatists and Ukrainian government forces. EPA/ROBERT GHEMENT
