Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte has reportedly said that sending out troops to secure the MH17 crash site in rebel-held Ukraine is unrealistic.

Speaking to the press in The Hague, Rutte added that sending an international military force to the crash site would provoke the separatists and destabilize the situation, reported the BBC.

He also added that the country is exploring all the possibilities.

Meanwhile, the Netherlands, Australia and Malaysia are considering launching a joint operation.

Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 went down in the Donetsk region of Ukraine which is controlled by pro-Russian separatists. Since, some of the victims' bodies have not been recovered yet therefore; demands for sending out an international mission to secure the area and fetch the dead bodies are being made.
