Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said rebels had also agreed to hand over the "black box" flight recorders.
The UN Security Council has unanimously adopted a resolution demanding access to the crash site. Western nations say MH17 was shot down by rebels with weaponry supplied by Russia.
Meanwhile, the main rebel-held city of Donetsk has seen heavy clashes.
Eyewitnesses say there is violence near the city's airport and the railway station.
For three hours close to the railway station I watched as several hundred civilians fled past.
There was shelling throughout the morning, some from Grad rockets but also mortar fire and intermittent sniper shots.
Most of this seemed to be coming from the direction of villages on the road between the airport and the railway station.
It was impossible to be sure who was firing or in which direction. However we saw the aftermath of a rocket strike in the playground of an apartment complex close to the station - a rebel controlled area.
Next to the crater lay a pool of blood, a man's shoes and a pair of glasses.
