17 over eastern Ukraine a day earlier, with 298 people aboard.
He called on all
governments to back the investigation and "to support the Ukrainian
government to bring to justice all these bastards who committed this
international crime."
Since the Malaysia
Airlines jet fell from the sky in eastern Ukraine on Thursday, Russia
and Ukraine -- which routinely uses the word "terrorists" to describe
pro-Russian separatists -- have traded blame and accusations.
"Terrorists have killed
almost 300 persons with one shot," Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko
said Thursday. "Among them are women, children, citizens of different
countries of the world."
Russian President Vladmir
Putin pointed the finger back at Ukraine, blaming its recent tough
military operations against separatists for the volatility in the
region.
Yatsenyuk called for a
U.N. Security Council meeting to be held and for all nations to do
everything they could to stop what he said was not now just a war in
Ukraine or Europe, but a "war against the world."
Malaysian Transport
Minister Liow Tiong Lai said Friday that if reports that Malaysia
Airlines Flight 17 was shot down were confirmed, "it would contravene
international law, and be an outrage against human decency."
Speaking to reporters in
Kuala Lumpur, he added, "Malaysia condemns any such action in the
strongest possible terms, and calls for those responsible to be swiftly
brought to justice."
The minister offered his
condolences to the families of those aboard the downed plane and said
Malaysia would give its "full support" to them.
More than half those who lost their lives were from the Netherlands, from where the flight left for Malaysia.
