The Netherlands and Australia have accused Russia was downing the MH17 in 2014
News24xx.com - After Malaysia Airlines passenger jet in 2014 was downing and killed 298 people, now the Netherlands and Australia have formally accused Russia of being responsible for that case. And now, the two countries hold Russia responsible for its part in the downing of the Malaysia Airlines flight, through the Dutch government statement.
The statement was came on Friday, May 25 2018 or a day after international investigators concluded that the missile which smashed into the flight MH17 came from a Russian military brigade in Kursk.
At the time of the incident that occured on July 17, 2014, the Boeing 777 broke apart in midair, flinging wreckage over several kilometres of fields in rebel-held territory. And at that time, pro-Russian separatists were fighting Ukrainian government forces in the region.
Julie Bishop, Australia's Minister for Foreign Affairs said, "Australia and the Netherlands have now informed that the Russian Federation must responsible under international law for its role in the bringing down of MH17."
Russia said on Friday the Netherlands had provided no evidence that Moscow was directly behind the shooting down of flight MH17, accusing the Dutch of promoting their own agenda.
He accused the Dutch of using the tragedy to achieve their own political goals.
"We are still ready to cooperate," Lavrov added, saying that information that Russia has supplied should not be ignored or used selectively.
Russian President Vladimir Putin late on Thursday repeated calls that Moscow should be included in the investigation team.
The Russian foreign ministry also denounced what it called an attempt to "discredit Russia in the eyes of the international community", but investigators, who painstaking recreated the BUK missile system's route from Kursk across the border into rebel-held eastern Ukraine using videos and photos.
The team "has come to the conclusion that the BUK-TELAR that shot down MH17 came from 53rd Anti-aircraft Missile Brigade based in Kursk in Russia," top Dutch investigator Wilbert Paulissen said.
Prosecutors have said that the BUK missile system was fired from the Ukraine village of Pervomaysk and later returned to Russian territory.
Investigation officials have not yet said who actually fired the missile, stressing that the probe continues.
