Самопровъзгласилият се за премиер на т.нар. "Донецка народна република" Александър Бородай обяви, че черните кутии на малайзийския самолет са под контрола на проруските сепаратисти. Кутиите били отнесени в Донецк и ще бъдат дадени на международните експерти, в случай че бъдат поискани. Според Бородай кутиите не могат да бъдат дадени на на властите в Киев, защото било твърде вероятно да бъде нарушена тяхната цялост. 198 са откритите тела на жертви на катастрофата на малайзийския самолет в Украйна. Руската агенция РИА Новости съобщи, че влак с пет хладилни вагона е откарал труповете към Донецк. Преди да отпътуват вагоните, са били проверени от наблюдатели на Организацията за сигурност и сътрудничество в Европа. Междувременно украинските власти не могат да дадат гаранции за безопасността на международните експерти, които ще работят на мястото, където бе свален малайзийският самолет, заяви украинският вицепремиер Володимир Гройсман. Той уточни, че Киев е готов да съдейства за транспорта на експертите до местопроизшествието. До мястото на катастрофата обаче експертите трябва да стигнат самостоятелно, допълни вицепремиерът. Представители на специалната мисия на ОССЕ имат достъп до мястото, заяви говорителят им Майкъл Бочюркив. Киев отново обвини проруските сепаратисти, че крият доказателства за свалянето на самолета. Според говорителя на украинския Съвет за сигурност Аркадий Лисенко, бунтовниците са откарали с камиони отломки и тела от мястото на катастрофата. Така те променили обстановката на мястото на произшествието, което би трябвало да бъде отцепено, за да могат разследващите да установят кой и как е причинил падането на самолета. Президентът на Украйна Петро Порошенко заяви междувременно, че страната му разполага със спътникови снимки от мястото на пускане на ракетата, която, според него, е свалила пътническия самолет. Киев има и фото и видео на зенитни установки, свидетелстващи за превоза на оръжие от Русия, е заявил Порошенко в телефонен разговор с френския президент Франсоа Оланд. Разследването на трагедията с малайзиския самолет продължава да тъне в неизвестност. Международните експерти не получават пълен достъп до мастото, където са останките от машината. Проруските сепаратисти в Украйна заявиха, че ще гарантират сигурността на експертите, ако Киев се съгласи на примирие. Според агенция Франс прес обаче този призив едва ли ще доведе до резултат, тъй като украинският президент Петро Порошенко поиска самопровъзгласилите се Донецка и Луганска народна република да бъдат обявени за "терористични организации". Пътуването на международни експерти от Киев до мястото в Източна Украйна, където се разби малайзийският самолет с 298 души на борда, се отлага по неизвестни причини, съобщи премиерът на самопровъзгласилата се Донецка народна република Александър Бородай, цитиран от ИТАР-ТАСС. Той обяви, че подозира украинската страна в съзнателно протакане. В телефонен разговор с украинския президент Петро Порошенко генералният секретар на ООН Бан Ки-мун определи самолетната катастрофа като шокираща и недопустима. Той е призовал Порошенко да използва всички възможни инструменти, в това число и ООН, за разследване на случилото се. Западни лидери засилват критиките си към начина, по който Русия и проруските сепаратисти в Източна Украйна реагират след катастрофата на самолета на Малайзийските авиолинии. Австралийският премиер Тони Абът определи като "напълно хаотична" обстановката на мястото на трагедията. Нещата, които обикновено се правят на място на самолетна катастрофа, тук не се правят, посочи той. Абът заяви, че самолетът очевидно е бил свален от сепаратистите. Абът присъства на възпоменателна служба за жертвите в Сидни. За австралийска телевизия той каза: Аз заявих много ясно моите притеснения и недоволство от начина, по който се действа. Това е контролирана от Русия територия, подкрепени от Русия бунтовници, най-вероятно оръжия, доставени от Русия. Русия не може просто да си измие ръцете. От своя страна, премиерът на Холандия Марк Рюте съобщи, че е провел "изключително интензивен" телефонен разговор с руския президент Владимир Путин, в който е призовал руския лидер да използва влиянието си над сепаратистите в Украйна, за да не пречат на разследването на случилото се. Съединените щати, на свой ред, определиха като неприемлива липсата на сигурност на мястото на трагедията. Говорителят на Държавния департамент Дженифър Псаки посочи, че има много свидетелства за преместени тела на хора и парчета от самолета, както и за потенциално подправяне на доказателства. Външният министър на Малайзия Анифа бин Хаджи Аман заминава за Киев, за да се срещне с президента Порошенко и с украинския си колега , преадде ИТАР-ТАСС, цитирайки съобщение на малайзийското външно министерство. В статия във вестник "Сънди таймс" британският премиер Дейвид Камерън заявява, че ако се докаже, че украинските сепаратисти стоят зад свалянето на малайзийския самолет с близо 300 души на борда, то Русия ще трябва да бъде порицана заради това, че е дестабилизирала Украйна. Камерън отправя и упреци към колегите си от Европейския съюз за това, че дълго време е имало нежелание от страна на много европейски страни да посрещнат последиците от случващото се в Източна Украйна. В статия в друг британски вестник новият британски министър на отбраната Майкъл Фалън припомня, че има и други санкции срещу Русия, които могат да бъдат наложени след свалянето на малайзийския самолет. Външният министър на Великобритания Филип Хамънд призова Русия да направи всичко възможно да забърза процеса: Не става дума за Русия и Запада, става дума за цялата международна общност, която настоява да й бъде предоставен истински достъп до мястото, така че телата на жертвите да бъдат открити и доказателствата да бъдат запазени. Русия трябва да играе ключова роля в този процес чрез влиянието си върху сепаратистите. Погледът на света ще бъде насочен към Русия, за да види как тя ще изпълни своите задължения през следващите часове.В същото време американският държавен секретар Джон Кери заяви, че ракетната система, използвана за свалянето на малайзийския самолет, е била дадена на проруските сепаратисти в Украйна от Москва. Той също така нарече "гротеска" сцената на мястото на катастрофата, където по думите му бунтовниците затрудняват разследването. Франция, Германия и Великобритания ще окажат натиск върху руския президент Владимир Путин да гарантира, че сепаратистите в Украйна ще позволят на следователите свободен достъп до мястото на катастрофата на малайзийския самолет. Ако Русия не вземе незабавно необходимите мерки, ЕС ще предприеме действия на заседанието на Съвета по външните работи, което ще се проведе във вторник, беше заявено от канцеларията на френския президент. В коментар на причините, довели до трагедията със сваления над Украйна "Боинг -777", бившият министър на отбраната Аню Ангелов каза в предаването "Неделя 150": Според мен става въпрос за една огромна трагедия, предизвикана от задействане на..

The downing of a passenger jet in Ukraine is likely to be a turning point in the country's conflict. But which way it turns depends mainly on who carried out the attack and how convincingly it can be proved to the world. A top pro-Russia rebel commander in eastern Ukraine has given a version of events surrounding the Malaysian jetliner crash - suggesting many of the victims may have died days before the plane took off.
