美國務卿克里指責俄羅斯是馬航客機失事的幕後黑手

US Secretary of State John Kerry says there is overwhelming evidence of Russian complicity in the downing of a Malaysia Airlines plane in Ukraine.

Mr Kerry called on Russia to take responsibility for the actions of the rebels, saying their handling of the dead had been "grotesque".

All 298 people on flight MH17 died when it was reportedly hit by a missile.

Russia has been accused of providing the rebels with an anti-aircraft system that was allegedly used in the attack.

Earlier, the remains of up to 196 people were loaded on to refrigerated rail wagons in eastern Ukraine, to be taken to an unknown destination.

Mr Kerry said the US had seen major military supplies moving into Ukraine from Russia in the last month, including a convoy of armoured personnel carriers, tanks and rocket launchers.

'Wake-up call'

Intercepted calls suggested a Russian SA-11 missile system had been transferred to the rebels, Mr Kerry said, and the US had seen a video of a launcher being moved back into Russia after flight MH17 crashed.

"There's [an] enormous amount of evidence that points to the involvement of Russia in providing these systems, training the people on them," Mr Kerry said on a US TV network.

He also threatened further sanctions on Russia and called on European allies to get tougher with President Putin after the "wake-up call".

Writing in a newspaper on Sunday, UK Prime Minister David Cameron said Europe and the West "must fundamentally change our approach to Russia" if Mr Putin "does not change his approach to Ukraine".

The indiscipline and chaos of the last two days have been replaced by the robust presence of former riot policemen who now form a cordon around the central area of the crash site.

There is still no sign of the fully fledged independent investigation which is being demanded by the international community.

During the morning local volunteers have been searching the fields. We have been told that their job is to pinpoint belongings and remains to the emergency services. But this could easily have the effect of disturbing evidence important to an inquiry.

As for the strong words from British Prime Minister David Cameron attacking Russia they are likely to have little impact on the rebels here. They are contemptuous of the West and are much more concerned with the local military balance than with any warnings from London.

Bodies moved

Mr Kerry's comments joined a chorus of anger directed at Russian President Vladimir Putin after the rebels in charge of the crash site restricted access to the plane's wreckage and its victims.

The remains of up to 196 people were loaded on to refrigerated rail wagons at the crash site in Grabove on Sunday, three days after the Boeing 777 came down.

The freight train is now standing at Torez railway station, 15km (nine miles) from the crash site.

The carriages, with heavy closed doors, look like refrigeration units and there is the occasional smell normally associated with dead bodies, the BBC's Richard Galpin reports from Torez.

Speaking in Donetsk, the biggest rebel-held city in the east, rebel leader Alexander Borodai said the bodies would remain in Torez until international aviation inspectors arrived.

He said the bodies had been moved "out of respect for the families", adding: "We couldn't wait any longer because of the heat and also because there are many dogs and wild animals in the area."

'Site compromised'

The rebels say they will hand over MH17's flight recorders to the International Civil Aviation Organization but the US state department said rebels had tampered with other potential evidence.

Heavy machinery could be seen moving plane debris around at the crash site on Sunday.

Malaysian Transport Minister Liow Tiong-Lai, who arrived in Ukraine's capital Kiev at the weekend, said he was "very concerned" that the crash site had been "severely compromised".

A Malaysian team of 133 officials and experts, comprising of search and recovery personnel, forensics experts, technical and medical experts have also arrived in Ukraine.

But the government in Kiev says it has been unable to establish a safe corridor to the crash site for the group.

Fighting remains ongoing in eastern Ukraine between the separatist rebels and government forces in a conflict which erupted in April and is believed to have claimed more than 1,000 lives.

The passenger list released by Malaysia Airlines shows the plane was carrying 193 Dutch nationals, including one with dual US nationality.

Other victims included 43 Malaysians (including 15 crew), 27 Australians, 12 Indonesians, 10 Britons, four Germans, four Belgians, three from the Philippines, and one from both Canada and New Zealand.

Memorial services and vigils were held on Sunday in many countries, including Australia, Malaysia and the Netherlands.美國國務卿約翰·克里(John Kerry)表示,有大量證據顯示俄羅斯與烏克蘭叛軍同謀擊落馬航客機。

克里要求俄羅斯對叛軍的行爲負責任,並表示叛軍處理罹難者遺骸的方式“荒唐可笑的”。

據報道稱,MH17航班是由導彈擊落,機上298名乘客全部罹難。

俄羅斯被指向烏克蘭叛軍提供防空導彈系統,而叛軍涉嫌使用該導彈系統襲擊馬航MH17航班。

早些時刻,196名乘客的遺體裝載到烏克蘭東部的鐵路冷藏車廂上,運往何處不得而知。

克里先生,美國在六月份發現有大批軍事物資從俄羅斯運入烏克蘭,其中包括一裝甲運兵車隊,坦克和火箭發射裝置。

“敲響警鐘”

克里表示,攔截的電話通話表明,一俄羅斯SA-11導彈系統已轉移至烏克蘭叛軍,同時,美國也看到一視頻,火箭發射裝置馬航MH17航班墜毀之後運回俄羅斯。

克里在一美國電視網上說道:“大量證據指證俄羅斯涉嫌提供了這些提供導彈系統,對操作人員提供培訓。”

他還出言威脅要進一步制裁俄羅斯,並號召歐洲各盟國在俄羅斯“警鐘敲響”之後,一起對普京採取強硬態度。

7月20日本週日,英國首相戴維·卡梅倫(David Cameron)在報紙上撰文稱,如果普京總統“沒有改變對烏克蘭的策略”,歐洲和西方各國“必須從本質上改變對俄戰略”。

失事現場:英國廣播公司新聞頻道記者弗加爾·基恩(Fergal Keane)發自墜機現場的報道:

前防暴警察坐鎮指揮,穩定局面,在墜機現場中心區域拉起警戒線,結束了過去兩天的混亂無序。

目前仍無法確定,國際社會能展開全面單獨的調查。

21日早晨,當地志願者在田野區域展開搜尋。他們告訴我們,主要任務是進行緊急服務,尋找遇難者的行李和遺骸。但是,這很容易妨礙調查員搜尋重要證據。

至於英國首相戴維·卡梅倫攻擊俄羅斯的強硬言語,這似乎對烏克蘭的叛軍毫無影響。他們蔑視西方國家,對倫敦政府的警告不屑一顧,而更關注當地的軍事制衡。

搬運遺體

烏克蘭叛軍控制了馬航墜機現場,限制觀察人員靠近墜機殘骸和遇難者遺體,因而克里言語中飽含憤怒,指責俄羅斯總統弗拉基米爾·普京。

7月21日,在這艘波音777客機墜毀三天之後,該航班上196名乘客的遺體被裝載到格拉博沃墜機現場的鐵路冷藏車廂上。

目前,該鐵路列車正停靠在多列士火車站,距離墜機現場15公里。

英國廣播公司的理查德·加爾平(Richard Galpin)從多列士報道稱,這些車廂車門緊鎖,看來確實配備冷庫,但現場偶爾還能嗅到屍體的腐臭味。

在烏克蘭叛軍在東部控制的最大城市頓涅茨克(Donetsk),叛軍頭目亞歷山大·博羅戴(Alexander Borodai)稱,在國際航空調查人員抵達之前,這些遺體擱置在多列士。

他表示,搬運這些遺體是“出於對遇難者家人的尊重”,並說道:“我們無法再等待,因爲氣溫過高,也因爲該地區有許多狗和野獸出沒。”

“破壞現場”

烏克蘭叛軍表示,他們會將馬航MH17航班的飛行記錄器移交給國際民航組織(the International Civil Aviation Organization),但是,美國國務院卻稱,烏克蘭叛軍篡改銷燬了其他潛在證據。

21日,墜機現場可見重型機械搬動客機殘骸。

馬來西亞交通部長廖中萊(Liow Tiong-Lai)在週末抵達烏克蘭首都基輔。他表示,墜機現場已遭“嚴重破壞”,對此他“極其關注”。

133名官員和專家組成的馬來西亞團隊也已經抵達烏克蘭。該團隊還包括搜救人員、法醫專家、技術和醫學專家。

但是,烏克蘭政府表示,它無法爲該團隊開闢一條通往墜機現場的安全走廊。

烏克蘭叛軍分裂勢力和政府軍之間的鬥爭衝突四月份爆發以來,在烏克蘭東部不斷升級,據信這場衝突已經犧牲了1000多人。

馬來西亞航空公司公佈了罹難乘客名單。該名單顯示此客機運載了193名荷蘭公民,其中包括一名具有荷蘭和美國雙重國籍的乘客。

其他遇難者包括43名馬來西亞人(其中包括15名機組人員)、27名澳大利亞人、12名印度尼西亞人、10名英國人、4名德國人、4名比利時人、3名菲律賓人以及一名具有加拿大和新西蘭雙重國籍的乘客。

21日,澳大利亞,馬來西亞和荷蘭等國家都舉辦了追悼會以及燭光守夜活動。
