Pro-Russian separatists are clearing all evidences that could link to the missile battery, suspected to have been used in the MH17 attack, amidst the United Nations orders of a full investigation at the crash site.

The UN orders reportedly came following the claims by Western governments that a missile attack was done to shoot the Malaysian Airlines MH17.

The concern over separatists blocking all evidence was observed by the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, reports The Guardian.

The investigations were also propelled after the Russian separatists' leader admitted on a website that he had shot the plane mistaking it for a Ukrainian military transport plant.

U.S. President Barack Obama has also called for a complete investigation and blames Russia for supporting the separatists in Ukraine.

A Russian military specialist at the London-based Royal United Services Institute said that it would be difficult to find the battery since the missile trail on satellite would have been short lived.
