Sydney: A team of Dutch and Australian police will on Monday again attempt to reach the crash site of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17, a senior Australian official said, although he warned the situation was volatile.An unarmed team of Dutch and Australian officers was forced to drop their plans to visit the site in eastern Ukraine Sunday as heavy bombardments rocked towns close to the area where the plane was shot down, killing all 298 on board.

And tensions led the Netherlands to scrap a plan to send an international armed mission in to secure the site in the rebel-contested area, with the Dutch Prime Minister saying it was "not realistic".
Australian Federal Police deputy commissioner Andrew Colvin said another attempt would be made Monday.
"As you know, the mission was aborted overnight due to the intensity of the fighting occurring both on the route into the crash site as well as at the crash site itself," he told reporters.

MOSCOW, July 10 (RIA Novosti) – Russia agrees to international monitoring of its border with Ukraine, Russian Foreign Ministry’s spokesman, Alexander Lukashevich, said Thursday.

“The Russian side is ready for monitoring on the Russian-Ukrainian border, ready to accept Ukrainian border guards in Russia’s Gukovo and Donetsk checkpoints on the border between the two states. But, naturally, it is possible only when a sustainable truce and ceasefire is reached in southeastern Ukraine,” he said.
"At the moment we are talking about the establishment of an OSCE monitoring system along the border between Russia and Ukraine. We presume that observers must be accompanied by the militia at the checkpoints, which are controlled by the self-defense," Lukashevich said
On June 29, in a four-party phone conversation Russian President Vladimir Putin, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, French President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel discussed the possibility of sending OSCE inspectors to checkpoints on the Russian-Ukrainian border.
Moscow has said the OSCE mission needs to continue its work in eastern Ukraine to keep a record of what is actually happening in the troubled regions.
The OSCE has been monitoring the situation in violence-struck Donetsk and Luhansk for several months already, although their number was recently reduced due to the “highly volatile situation” and multiple detentions of its monitors.

Some are suggesting it is. I hope they are completely wrong but I can't fault the logic in this Op Ed.

I felt it early on. It just doesn't make sense to me, other than trying to justify a 'first strike' scenario. Immediately I saw the Times massive headline about "Swaggering Putin".... I thought of the "Swaggering Hun" headlines that preceded the onset of war.

U.S. President Barack Obama is therefore very concerned to stop the rise of Russia and of China. They are now a national security threat to the U.S., because they present a threat to the continuation of the dollar’s being the world’s reserve currency.
