澳大利派人保護烏克蘭東部墜機現場

Australia has sent 50 police officers to London in anticipation of deploying them to eastern Ukraine to secure the Malaysian plane crash site as part of a proposed international team.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott said foreign ministers from Australia and The Netherlands will go to Kyiv to iron out the details of deploying such a team, under U.N. authority, to secure the crash site in rebel-held east Ukraine.

Meanwhile, two more planes were due to take off from Ukraine for the Netherlands, carrying dozens more victims of the shoot down of Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 last week.

Tens of thousands of mourners in the Netherlands held memorial services and ceremonies, as the first bodies from Flight MH17 arrived in the country on Wednesday. One hundred ninety-three of the victims were Dutch.

Earlier Thursday, Russia called on the United States to prove that the passenger jet was shot down by an SA-11 surface-to-air missile fired by Russian-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine. Deputy Defense Minister Anatoly Antonov asked the U.S. to produce proof that it has technical data and satellite photos to back the accusation.

U.S. intelligence analysts have concluded that a Russian SA-11 "Buk" missile downed the aircraft and that ill-trained rebels likely fired the missile believing the aircraft was Ukrainian.澳大利亞派遣了50名警察前往倫敦，準備將他們部署到烏克蘭東部地區，保護馬航墜毀現場。他們是前往該地點的國際工作人員的一部分。

澳大利亞總理阿博特說，澳大利亞和荷蘭的外長將前往基輔，與烏克蘭敲定人員部署的細節。聯合國授權保護反政府武裝控制地區內的墜機現場。

與此同時，星期四又有兩架飛機從烏克蘭起飛，將上週馬航客機遇難者的幾十名遺體運往荷蘭。

星期三第一批遺體抵達荷蘭時，荷蘭成千上萬人爲死者舉行了悼念儀式。被擊落的馬航班機上共有298人，其中193人是荷蘭人。

另外，俄羅斯星期四早些時候要求美國提供證據，證明馬航班機是被俄羅斯支持的烏克蘭東部分離分子發射的俄製SA-11地對空導彈擊落的。俄羅斯國防部副部長安託諾夫要求美國拿出技術證據和衛星圖像來。
美國情報分析人士認爲，馬航班機是被俄羅斯製造的SA-11地對空導彈擊落的。 他們認爲缺乏訓練的烏克蘭反政府武裝很可能把馬航班機誤認爲是烏克蘭飛機。
