Saturday 19 July 2014 15.20 Russia has called on Ukraine's authorities and rebels to give international experts access to the crash site of a Malaysian Airlines plane.
The statement came as Kiev accused Russia and pro-Moscow separatists of destroying evidence.
It said the evidence was of "international crimes" and that it had proof that a Russian fired the missile assumed to have killed all 298 aboard last Thursday.
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott blamed Russia yesterday for the shooting down of the Boeing 777.
Two US officials have said that Washington strongly suspected it was downed by separatists backed by Moscow.
Ukraine's government has accused pro-Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine of trying to destroy evidence at the site and of removing 38 bodies from the scene.
Workers from Ukraine's Emergencies Ministry have explored 18 square km of a total 25 square km of the site where a Malaysian airliner crashed and have found 186 bodies.
The black boxes belonging to the Malaysian airliner that crashed in eastern Ukraine have not been handed over to Kiev and he had no information about them.
China's President Xi Jinping has called for a "fair and objective" investigation into the crash of a Malaysian airliner in Ukraine.
The Chinese leader said he was in favour of "a fair and objective investigation" into the crash of the airliner, which killed all 298 people on board.
The plane was flying at an altitude of 33,000 feet last Thursday when it disappeared from radar screens, according to European air controllers.
Ukrainian authorities and Russian-backed separatists have accused each other of bringing down the plane with a surface-to-air missile.
Meanwhile, Malaysian Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai has flown to the Ukraine capital of Kiev to ensure an investigating team gets safe access to the site of the downed Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17.
Malaysian PM confirms step-grandmother on plane

Siti Amirah, 83, was one of 44 Malaysians on board the Malaysia Airlines flight that was downed on Thursday killing all 298 people on board.
Minister for Foreign Affairs Charlie Flanagan has said the Government supports international calls for an independent inquiry into the shooting down of MH17.
Mr Flanagan said the truth must come out about what happened and said investigators must be given full access to the crash site.
The minister offered his condolences to Edel Mahady's family.
The 55-year-old, originally from Palmerstown in Dublin, was returning home to Perth in Australia where she lived with her husband and her two children.
Minister Flanagan said he will be attending the European Council for Foreign Ministers in Brussels on Tuesday where the the crash will be discussed
Family of Irish woman release statement
The family of Edel Mahady have released the following statement.
They said Ms Mahady would not have wasted time on hate.
The statement said: "Edel Mahady took care of people. She was devoted to and immeasurably proud of her husband Dereck, son Conor and daughter Ciara. If there was an Irish version of a 'tiger mother' Edel was it.
"Edel's fierce love of her family was evident in her support of her siblings through constant communication and regular visits to care for her elderly mother.
After immigrating to Australia as a newlywed, Edel gathered a group of friends and came to regard them as her Australian family.
"Edel's enthusiasm for living life was evident in the fact she held two jobs that had a great impact on two communities.
"For 14 years she was the Bursar/Office Manager at Good Shepherd Catholic Primary School whilst working as a fitness instructor at Fitness First in Cannington and Myaree.
"Edel's personality and quality of her work positively affected generations of teachers and children in the Kelmscott area.
"Her dedication to the health and wellbeing of those she trained was unfailing.
"She loved nothing more than to champion and mentor someone struggling to lose weight, eat healthier or increase their fitness.
"Edel didn't merely 'do' her work, her humour, strength, wisdom, joy and determination drove people to achieve their best. No one wanted to let Edel down, she saw the best in people, put up with no nonsense and spoke with honesty and conviction.
"Edel dealt with prince or pauper the same. She respected hard work, integrity and regarded failure as an opportunity to do better next time. She was innovative, persistent and a champion of those who were struggling.
"She would be heartbroken to know how saddened we are by her death,
she would not want anyone to waste time on hating those who did this rather she would be expecting us to 'suck it up' and make sure we looked after those who need it and to live fully.
"Her family have shared her with many people throughout her work life but ask that at this time their privacy is respected as they grieve for their beloved wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend."
