Ukraine has accused Russia of helping separatist rebels to destroy evidence after a Malaysia Airlines plane was shot down with 298 people on board.

World leaders are demanding that pro-Russia rebels who control the eastern Ukraine crash site of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 give immediate, unfettered access to investigators to determine who shot down the plane.

World leaders called for an immediate ceasefire in eastern Ukraine and demanded speedy access for international investigators to the crash site of the Malaysia Airlines jetliner shot down over the country’s battlefields.

Rescue workers, police and even coal miners are combing the site where a Malaysian jet crashed after being shot from the sky.
