Woman poses in make-up looted from Malaysian Airlines crash site. Too bad

A young Ukrainian has prompted widespread outrage after posing in make-up apparently looted from the crash site of Malaysian Airlines flight MH17.

Ekaterina Parkhomenko, who describes herself as a ‘separatist’ from the eastern region of the country, posted images of herself on Instagram along with the claim that she was wearing make-up ‘from the field’ – hinting the products were taken from the same area where the bodies of victims of the plane crash lay.

‘Mascara from Amsterdam, or rather from the field. Well, I think you know what I mean,’ she reportedly wrote on her social media page, before deleting the message.

She added: ‘An acquaintance of mine, a looter, gave it to me.’

Flight MH17 went down several miles south of Torez, in the Donetsk province, which, according to local reports, is Parkhomenko’s hometown.

The crash killed all 283 passengers and 15 crew on board.

Unsurprinsingly, the Instagram post has not been well received with fellow users of the social media site calling Parkhomenko ‘disgusting’ and ‘horrific’.
