French President Francois Hollande talked with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and British Prime Minister David Cameron over telephone Sunday morning, according to a statement released by the Elysee palace.
The three leaders agreed to urge Russian President Vladimir Putin to get "Ukrainian separatists relief" and grant investigators free and full access to the disaster area of the MH17 flight to accomplish their mission.
In case Russia does not take immediate action, consequences will be discussed by the European Union at the Foreign Affairs Council to be held Tuesday, said the statement.
Russia must understand that the resolution of the crisis in Ukraine is more than ever an imperative after this tragedy has outraged the world, they said.
On Thursday, a Malaysia Airlines passenger plane crashed some 80 kilometers from the city of Donetsk in east Ukraine near the Russian border, killing all 298 on board.
