Dutch and Australian investigators delayed plans to visit the Malaysian Air MH17 crash site in eastern Ukraine, citing fighting nearby, as the U.S. released photos to support allegations that Russia has been shelling across the border into Ukraine.
With European Union states threatening Russia with their toughest sanctions yet for what they say is its involvement in the conflict and the downing of MH17, Dutch investigators had planned to reach the site after being blocked by rebels yesterday. The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe cited the “security situation” in the area around the site for the investigating team’s delay.
