More human remains from Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 were found amidst a break in the fight between Ukrainian forces and Russian-backed separatists. A team of Dutch investigators recovered the remains, The Netherlands said Friday.

The plane, MH17, was shot down over Eastern Ukraine back in July with 298 people on board. Nine of the people have yet to be identified. New remains found are on the way to Amsterdam for analysis.

Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte confirmed the news in a statement.

When the flight crashed, there were 283 passengers and 15 crew members on board. Out of those people, 196 were Dutch citizens.

The Dutch Safety Board is conducting the investigation for the accident as requested by the Ukraine. Since the investigation started, more and more remains have been found. Each time, the families are contacted.

The Dutch government urges people to be patient while they undergo investigations. A team of specialists is currently hard at work on identifying victims of the disaster, a statement from the government of The Netherlands read.

"However, as was previously stressed, it may take some time before all the victims have been identified. The media will be provided with periodic updates on the progress made," the statement read.

"In my perception, there was no delay due to the fact that we have not worked through the separatists," Prime Minister Rutte said.

The Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop met Russian president Vladimir Putin in Milan. Putin promised he would use his influence with the separatists in control of the crash site to gain access for investigators.

The group found remains in a field where aircraft parts had been on fire on the day of the crash, The Sydney Morning Herald reported. About 36 Australians were identified by the forensic team.

Next week, Rutte will visit both countries to discuss the latest developments.
