This is still very much news in Holland.
So far 284 out of 298 victims have been identified. This does not always mean that their bodies have been completely recovered, just that material of 284 different persons has been identified.
There is still human material where no (DNA) match has been made (burned/decomposed) with the coroners.
Most of these bodies were recovered by the Ukrainians/Russians in the first days after the crash, where the emphasis was on recovering the remains.
Western teams only have had limited acces to the crash site which has been in and out of the frontline of the fights.
When a full russian invasion looked iminent the investigation team pulled out completely
To my knowledge no heavy equipment needed to move large wreckage parts operated by investigators has been into the erea.
As a result not much of the wreckage has been secured. Photos have been made on site.
There has been a prelimanry report on the crash but that was only stating a number of obvious facts.

Thanks guys, some more from yesterday
KLM made a small change to its livery, it is not meant for all the planes but for specific types. This is going to be on their dreamliners aswell.
PH-HZA was sold to Kulula some years ago, now it is leased back for the summer in this hybrid color scheme
their was also a lot of activity in the waters around the airport
