International observers turned back Wednesday after making another attempt to reach the site where Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 went down in eastern Ukraine, and a government official said the area near the zone had been mined by pro-Russian separatists who control it....

Safety concerns and hindrance from the separatists who control the area have kept the investigation team away. Foreign governments whose citizens died have complained the site is not secured and some human remains have not been recovered.

Government security spokesman Andriy Lysenko added to those concerns Wednesday by saying separatists "have mined the approaches to this area. This makes the work of the international experts impossible."

Lysenko was asked at a briefing about concerns that Ukrainian efforts to win back territory were increasing fighting in the area and slowing access. He said that Ukrainian troops weren't conducting operations against the separatist near the site, but were trying to cut off their supply lines to force them to leave the area....

“unfettered access”

What does “unfettered” mean in this context. Do they have access or not? Of course they don’t have “unfettered” access. It’s a war zone.

Unfettered means without fetters. Free access without limitations.

You know, like every other downed plane/crash site on the planet.

Usually the sites are able to be investigated before 16 year old girls do instagrams of themselves with themselves in looted makeup.

Does that help you understand?

That’s odd. When I got to the website the article title is

“Ukraine: Clashes prevent visit to jet debris site”

A little creative editing on your part?

I frankly think that it is high time for the Dutch, Aussies, and the OSCE to get some guts, put their big boy pants on, quit pussy-footing around, run the checkpoint and drive to the MH17 site. Just keep moving and don’t stop.

No one on the Ukrainian arms side will fire on them.

They should dare the Russian rebels to shoot at them as they proceed on their humanitarian mission.
