KIEV, August 23 (RIA Novosti) - A search for the bodies of passengers from a Russian plane that crashed in Ukraine Tuesday has ended, Ukrainian television said Wednesday, citing a rescuer at the site.

The Tu-154 crashed in eastern Ukraine en route from the Russian Black Sea resort of Anapa to St. Petersburg. All 170 people on board, including 45 children, were killed.

A Russian government official said earlier a total of 130 bodies and body parts had been discovered at the site.

Both flight recorders have been found, and it will take experts about six weeks to decode them, the television channel said.
