普京阿博特会谈敦促加快调查马航班机坠毁事件

2014-11-12来源:VOA

Tony Abbott have agreed on the need to speed up the investigation into the crash of a Malaysia Airlines flight in eastern Ukraine.

A Kremlin statement says talks on the July crash dominated a Tuesday meeting between the two leaders on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Summit being held in Beijing.

The meeting was being watched closely since Prime Minister Abbott had recently threatened to aggressively confront President Putin about Russia's alleged involvement in the July crash.

Mr. Putin's spokesman said the Australian leader apparently did not try to follow through on his threat to "shirtfront," or shoulder-charge, the Russian president, a technique used in Australian Rules football.

Many Western countries accuse Russian-backed separatists of shooting down the plane as it flew through rebel-held eastern Ukraine en route from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur.
