Experts should quickly get to crash site of Malaysian airliner, plan drafted - Hroisman

The head of the Ukrainian government commission probing the crash of the Malaysian aircraft, Deputy Prime Minister Volodymyr Hroisman, has said that in order to speed up the investigation experts need to work at the plane crash site, on an area controlled by members of the so-called Donetsk People's Republic (DPR).

"We need to enter the area of the plane crash site as quickly as possible. And every day we make every effort to enter this territory. I want to note that we are constantly facing and continue to face certain forceful and military provocations," he said at a briefing in Kyiv on Tuesday.

Hroisman said that "a clear plan has been developed, which will allow us to carry out another powerful attempt to enter this area to conduct all activities."

However, he did not specify the content of the plan.

He expressed hope that "in the next few hours, in the next 24 hours, there will be positive news in the fulfillment of this task."

"Today we need to do everything possible and impossible to prevent provocations on the area controlled by the militants... We are constantly confronted with the fact that our work is being hindered, not by amateurs, but by specially trained people," Hroisman said.

Chief Monitor of the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine Ertugrul Apakan, in turn, said that representatives of the Malaysian side had already managed to visit the crash site.

"A special international commission is working, and we hope that either tomorrow or in a couple of days it will be there. We are coordinating our efforts with all who are there. We want to ensure that the Netherlands, Australia, the OSCE, and Ukraine - all whom it may concern – work in a coordinated manner to allow the special international commission to be there," he said.
