The Republics of Donbass welcome the initiative of members of the Dutch Parliament to investigate the role of Ukraine in the Malaysia Airlines Boeing crash that occurred in the skies over Donbass in the summer of 2014, when Kiev flew the airliner through the combat zone, knowing that it was putting passengers in danger.
This was stated by the head of the DPR Denis Pushilin, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Let’s leave aside why it took more than five years. In this case, sincerity of intentions is important. If there is one, then the answer to this question will grow with a dozen others, from which it will become obvious that it is Ukraine that should become involved in the case of solving this monstrous crime,” said Pushilin, quoted by the press service of the Donetsk Republic Public Movement.
As PolitNavigator reported, the day before, the majority of members of the House of Representatives of the Dutch Parliament spoke in favor of investigating Ukraine’s role in the crash of a Malaysian Boeing in the Donbass in 2014.
Previously, the Russian Foreign Ministry criticized the Joint Investigation Team studying the crash of flight MH-17 for ignoring facts indicating Kyiv’s possible involvement in the tragedy.
Moscow has repeatedly reported that the investigation is ignoring the Russian side’s own investigations - for example, it refused to take into account data on the Ukrainian origin of the missile that allegedly shot down the plane, and which since 1987 was registered with a military unit in the Ukrainian SSR.
Kyiv, in turn, is a full member of the international investigative team, having the opportunity to distort and interpret the results of the investigation in its favor.
