Russia’s results of a
separate probe into the MH17 crash would be taken into consideration, the
Malaysian minister of transport said.
BALI (Sputnik) — The final report of the Dutch
Safety Board on the Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 crash in eastern
Ukraine did not blame Russia or Donbass militia for the downing, Malaysian
Minister of Transport Liow Tiong Lai said.
The Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777, en route to Kuala
Lumpur from Amsterdam, crashed over the Donetsk region
in eastern Ukraine on July 17, 2014, killing all 298 people
on board.
"I do not see any accusation, whatsoever
on Russia [or any separatist group], in this case," Liow Tiong
Lai was quoted by The Malaysian Star newspaper as saying
on Friday.
Liow added that Russia’s results of its separate
probe would also be taken into consideration by the technical
investigators.
The Dutch Safety Board issued a final report of the
crash investigation on Tuesday, saying the Malaysia Airlines passenger
plane crashed as a result of a ground-to-air missile explosion
near the left side of the plane. The organization said an additional
forensic investigation would be needed to establish the exact launch
location of the missile.
According to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, the
report cannot be considered objective as Russia was not part of the
probe and arguments made by the Russian side were ignored.
