[MOSCOW] Malaysia's defence minister on Wednesday called for experts to carry out a final search at the crash site of downed Malaysia Airlines (MAS) flight MH17 in east Ukraine to recover any remains left behind before winter hits.

"It is important for us before the onset of winter in Ukraine to make one final sweep to comb the areas for any remaining passengers who have not been found," Hishammuddin Hussein said after meeting top Russian officials in Moscow.

All 298 people on board the MAS flight died in the July 17 disaster.
