From our news desk:

Australia has sent 50 police officers to London in anticipation of deploying them to Ukraine to secure the Malaysian plane crash site as part of a UN team.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott said the foreign ministers of Australia and the Netherlands are going to Kyiv on July 24 to seek a memorandum of understanding that will allow the deployment of a multinational police force.

Abbott has also spoken with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and Russian President Vladimir Putin about the need to secure the site.

Up to 39 Australian nationals and residents were among the 298 people killed when the Malaysian airliner was shot down in eastern Ukraine, allegedly by Russia-backed rebels.

Abbot said the multinational police force must be deployed as soon as possible as the remains of many victims remain on the crash site, which is in rebel-controlled territory.
