Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said in Kuala Lumpur Friday in a press conference that Russian President Vladimir Putin had promised that he would ensure the investigation team could get to the crash site of MH17, as well as their safety.

Najib also stressed that Malaysian investigation team must get to the crash site of the MH27.

At the same time, Putin said the investigation should be carried out objectively and reiterate that Russia did not shoot down MH17.

Najib said later in a address on Malaysia's state run TV that he gave three proposals to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon: Firstly, all related parties should ensure the safety of the investigation team during their mission; Secondly, all parties should not disturb and contaminate the evidence of the crash site; Thirdly, once it is verified that the MH17 was shot down, Malaysia requires the responsible people to be brought to justice.

However, he said they would not accuse anybody before the verification of the shot down of the MH17.
