The bodies of the 11 Ukrainian citizens were brought back to Ukraine on Sunday in a solemn ceremony at Kiev airport. All 176 on board the Ukraine International Airlines flight from Tehran to Kiev were killed when the Boeing 737-800 was accidentally shot down by Iran on Jan. 8.
Most of those on board were Iranians. Canada had 57 citizens on board. Nine of the Ukrainian citizens were crew members. With Ukraine President looking on, coffins draped in the Ukrainian flag were carried one by one from a Ukrainian military plane to a waiting hearse at Kiev's Boryspil airport. Soldiers held up flags to represent the different nationalities of those who died. Iran announced on Saturday it would send the black boxes to Ukraine to be decoded.
