Says the President of the United States of America, the UK, Netherlands, Maylasia and Australia agree, Putin pimps are not welcome in many nations:

U.S. analysts are examining phone intercepts, social media posts and information gathered on the ground to see what role, if any, Russian officials may have played, according to two U.S. officials directly familiar with the latest assessment who declined to be identified because of the sensitivity of the situation.
"We are trying to determine if they manned it, advised, or pulled the trigger," one of the officials told CNN.U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said there's no shortage of evidence that pro-Russian rebels shot down the jet.There's video of a launcher with one surface-to-air missile missing, imagery showing the firing and intercepted calls with rebels claiming credit for the strike, Kerry said."We know from intercepts ... that those are in fact the voices of separatists," he told CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday. "And now we have a video showing a launcher moving back through a particular area there out into Russia with at least one missing missile on it."British Prime Minister David Cameron didn't mince words either on who was to blame. In an op-ed in The Sunday Times, he called the plane crash and its aftermath "an outrage made in Moscow."
The international community has ramped up pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin to allow investigators access to the site and the bodies of the nearly 300 victims of last weeks Malaysian Airlines crash. Armed pro-Russian separatists who control the area have "repeatedly" prevented investigators from doing their work, Obama said.
"All of this begs the question: What exactly are they trying to hide?" the president asked.
Borodai also told Cuomo that he believes rebels have retrieved the jet's black boxes, but that he couldn't say for sure because he is not a technical expert.
Earlier, Borodai said the devices are under guard in the region. They will not be given to Ukrainian officials, he said.Reuters distributed video Sunday of what appeared to be an inflight recorder found by a worker in a field. The agency labeled the video, shot Friday, as showing one of the two flight data recorders from Flight 17.
Some Malaysian investigators flew to the Ukrainian capital of Kiev on Saturday. But Malaysia's official news agency said they were still negotiating with rebels over access for their team.Law enforcement officials from the Netherlands, the United States and Australia will help with the investigation led by the Ukrainian government.
Two FBI agents have arrived in Kiev, a senior U.S. law enforcement official said. An investigator from the National Transportation Safety Board was also there.
