Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has authorized a working group for holding consultations in Minsk over providing international experts with access to the site where the Malaysia Airlines passenger jet crashed on July 17.

"The Ukrainian president has authorized our contact group to fly out to Minsk tomorrow and hold consultations for our demands to be met. We want the OSCE (Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe) to make sure there is no counteraction on the part of the Ukrainian army in the disaster zone," Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Volodymyr Hroisman said at a briefing in Kyiv on Wednesday.

The Ukrainian president has demanded that international experts should get access to the crash site on Thursday, he said.
