The government has "secured an agreement" with the Ukrainian separatist group who are controlling the MH17 crash site to allow a team of international police to be deployed at the crash site and provide protection to investigators.
Ukranian separatist leader Alexander Borodai agreed to this pursuant of his earlier agreement with Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak, a statement from the Prime Minister's Office said today.
"Prime Minister Najib (left) has today spoken to the prime ministers of Netherlands and Australia, and the three grieving countries have agreed to work closely in deploying police personnel," the statement said.
It added that 68 Malaysian police personnel will leave for the crash site on Wednesday as part of the international deployment.
"So far, international air crash investigators have been unable to properly deploy across the vast crash site in eastern Ukraine and collect evidence due to ongoing security concerns.
"Malaysia is concerned that these security concerns are preventing full and unfettered access to the site, and therefore a proper, independent investigation from being carried out.
"Moreover, Malaysia is particularly concerned that some human remains may still be at the crash site," it added.
Najib also said that the grieving nations have formed a "coalition" to secure the site.
"Through our joint deployment of police personnel, the Netherlands, Australia, and Malaysia will work together to achieve justice for the victims," he added.
