Russia Rejects Charges Linked to Malaysian Aircraft Disaster

Russia Rejects Charges Linked to Malaysian Aircraft Disaster

Moscow, June 21 (NNN-Prensa Latina) Russia has called as fake the arguments presented by the Joint Investigation Group of the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200 catastrophe, with 298 deaths that crashed in the rebel zone of Donbass.

The Russian Foreign Ministry pointed out that it categorically rejects the manipulation of video recordings and then, on that basis, presents Russia’s alleged relationship with the accident, which occurred on July 17, 2014.

Moscow considers that Ukraine is responsible in principle for the incident, since in no way did it make efforts to close the space in the Donbass area, despite the war operation that Kiev launched against that region in April of that year.

According to the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, much of the so-called evidence presented by the research group is based on data collected from dubious sources on the Internet, specifically social media.

However, the group in charge of the investigation, led by the Netherlands, ignored at all times the incontestable evidence presented by Moscow on the events in Donbass, based on an investigation by the Almaz-Antei consortium.

The most widely used version of the investigations is that flight MH17 of the Malaysian airplane was interrupted after a missile hit the air. It is estimated that it could have been a rocket used by the Soviet-built BUK anti-aircraft complex.

At no time did this research group analyze the materials presented by Russia, whose specialists never had access to the investigations, contrary to the Ukrainian experts.

The press recalls that in October 2001, an S-200 Ukrainian anti-aircraft complex, during exercises in the Black Sea, mistakenly destroyed a TU-154 plane from Siberia Arlines, with 78 people on board, most of them children.
