Two Years On, Ukraine Villagers Mourn At MH17 Crash Site Sunday July 17,2016

Dozens of villagers carried flowers and lit candles Sunday July 17,2016 at the site in rebel-held eastern Ukraine where flight MH17 crashed on July 17,2014, killing all 298 people on board.

About 60 people joined the vigil on the small square of the village of Petropavlivka where some of the remains and personal belongings of passengers on the Malaysia Airlines flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur fell to the ground in 2014.

Some youngsters from the village- still controlled by pro-Russian separatists fighting pro-Western government forces- also carried paper planes in memory of children killed in the downing of the plane.

"Some of the relatives of people who were killed phoned us and asked us to find things that were valuable for them, for example, the toys that belonged to children aboard," village council head Natalia Voloshina told
