"I am shocked by the images of totally disrespectful behavior at the scene of the MH17 crash in Ukraine," said Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte during a press conference in The Hague on Saturday.

Rutte said he is frustrated by the state of affairs at the disaster area, where research has hardly begun and pictures going around on the Internet with people there showing personal items of victims.

The crash cost the lives of 298 people, including 193 Dutch citizens.

Dutch media on Saturday reported about an unknown number of bodies of victims stacked in body bags and removed away with trucks, which was illustrated by photos. The destination of the trucks is unknown.

"It is now imperative and priority that the victims will be salvaged, it is absolutely urgent to have a rapid repatriation of Dutch victims," added Rutte.

The messing around of insurgents "with recognizable and personal items at the scene is downright disgusting," said Rutte.

During the press conference, Rutte spoke of a "very intense phone conversation" that he had on Saturday with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Rutte has urged the Russian president to use his influence to ensure that the investigation team can access the site, do its job and that the Dutch bodies can be removed from the crash scene as soon as possible.

"He has to take responsibility," said Rutte about Putin. "I do not know who else to call. He has the most influence. It is 35 degrees Celsius out there. These bodies must be removed."

"Time is getting short for Putin to show the world that he is serious about helping," Rutte added.

"He must now take responsibility towards the rebels and towards the Netherlands and show the world that he does what we expect: use his influence," said Rutte.

According to Rutte, other leaders share his views, including Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and British Prime Minister David Cameron. Rutte has already had contact with these leaders.

"The researchers must be free to do their work and the removal of the victims should take place as soon as possible," said Rutte.

The Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) said on Friday that several insurgents were drunk and aggressive at the crash scene.

Rutte therefore is not certain whether the experts will be able to do their work after his call.

"I hope so, but there is no certainty," the Dutch prime minister said.

Russia on Saturday called on Kiev and insurgents in eastern Ukraine to give experts access to the crash site of Malaysia Airlines fight MH17 to facilitate their investigation.

"The Russian side appeals to both sides of the Ukrainian conflict, urging them to do everything possible to enable access for international experts to the airplane crash area in order to take action necessary for the investigation," the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
