A Kremlin statement says talks on the July crash dominated a Tuesday meeting between the two leaders on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Summit being held in Beijing.

The meeting was being watched closely since Prime Minister Abbott had recently threatened to aggressively confront President Putin about Russia's alleged involvement in the July crash.

Mr. Putin's spokesman said the Australian leader apparently did not try to follow through on his threat to "shirtfront," or shoulder-charge, the Russian president, a technique used in Australian Rules football.

Many Western countries accuse Russian-backed separatists of shooting down the plane as it flew through rebel-held eastern Ukraine en route from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur.俄羅斯總統普京和澳大利亞總理阿博特都認爲需要加快調查馬航客機在東烏克蘭墜毀事件。

俄羅斯當局說，普京和阿博特星期二在北京出席亞太經合組織峯會期間舉行了會談，主要討論了馬航七月墜毀事件。

會談受到密切關注，因爲阿博特最近威脅要就俄羅斯據說捲入墜機事件質問普京。普京的發言人說澳大利亞總理顯然並沒有將奧式足球裏的“迎面頂撞”訴諸行動。

許多西方國家指責俄羅斯支持的分裂分子今年7月擊落馬航班機。當時這架飛機從阿姆斯特丹起飛後經過叛軍控制的烏克蘭東部前往吉隆坡。
