An agreement has been reached with separatists in Ukraine to enable international police to oversee a site where a Malaysian plane was downed and investigators to determine why the aircraft crashed, Malaysia's prime minister said on Sunday.
Pro-Russian separatists remain in control of the site where Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 was shot down earlier this month and have so far restricted access to rescue teams and investigators.
The country's eastern regions are gripped by heavy fighting as Ukrainian government forces try to dislodge the separatists.
