Boeing 777-300 aircraft. File photoMOSCOW, Aug 16The West decided to reanimate the story of the crash of the Malaysian Boeing again, while the court in the Netherlands scheduled a hearing on the case just after the elections to the US Congress, Andrey Klimov, head of the Federation Council commission for the protection of state sovereignty of the Russian Federation, said. Previously, the District Court of The Hague considered three possible dates for the decision about the plane crash — September 22, November 17 or December 15. At a meeting in May, presiding judge Hendrik Steenhuis said that September 22 was no longer considered as a possible date for the verdict, as «there is still a lot of work ahead.» In his Telegram channel, the senator recalled that November 17, 2022 was chosen as the date for the ruling MH17 crash.
The United States received, through the European Union, Iran's response to the proposal for a nuclear deal. — the politician wrote. No wonder their «independent» investigation went in line with Moscow accusing the United States of the death of the Malaysian airliner over Ukraine a few hours after the tragedy of June 17, 2014 and before the start of any investigation, he pointed out. The senator noted that illegal anti-Russian sanctions «for Boeing» were introduced at the same time, that is, eight years before the court verdict, which has not yet been adopted. contributed to the strategic aspirations of the United States in turning Ukraine into Anti-Russia and the international demonization of the Russian Federation. He also believes that the resumption of noise in the NATO Netherlands around the death of a Malaysian aircraft in Ukraine can be timed to «reset» the Russophobic issue from «Zelensky's war against Putin» to a story that is not directly related to Zelensky. At the same time, he stressed that the West does not notice «hundreds of bloody crimes» of pro-American regimes in Ukraine, «including nuclear terrorism.» «But the guilty mercenaries of the West» are already facing a legal tribunal, the senator wrote, recalling that on August 15, the DPR court announced charges against 5 more mercenaries, and, in his opinion , this is just the beginning. «Not in contrast to whether the West is reanimating the murky story of MH17, which died due to the fact that the Ukrainian dispatcher sent a foreign civilian vessel over the war zone, but the air «switchman» and his superiors are among those accused in the Hague judicial-political show not listed? the politician concluded. The trial of the crash of flight MH17 began in the Netherlands on March 9, 2020. Four defendants are involved in the case: Russians Igor Girkin, Sergey Dubinsky, Oleg Pulatov and Ukrainian Leonid Kharchenko. Pulatov is represented in court by an international group of lawyers, while the rest of the suspects are being tried in absentia. On June 8, 2021, the consideration of the case on the merits began.GRU: U.S. congressmen visited Kyiv to investigate weapons leaks A Malaysian Boeing flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur on flight MH17 crashed on July 17, 2014 near Donetsk. There were 298 people on board, all of them died. Kyiv immediately blamed the militias for the crash, but they said that they did not have the means to shoot down the plane at such a height. Ukraine refused to provide data from its radars, and the United States did not transfer satellite images to the investigation, where, as they claim the moment the rocket was launched. As Deputy Prosecutor General of Russia Nikolai Vinnichenko told RIA Novosti, the Russian side handed over to the Netherlands not only data from Russian radars, but also documentation indicating that the Buk missile that hit Boeing belonged to Ukraine, and it was launched from Kyiv-controlled territory, but the investigators ignored this information. At the same time, on the first day of the court hearing, the prosecution admitted that it had received and was studying the data of the Russian prosecutor's office. The investigation was conducted by a joint investigation team led by the Dutch Attorney General without the participation of Russia. The investigation claims that the Boeing was shot down from the Buk anti-aircraft missile system, which belonged to the 53rd anti-aircraft missile brigade of the RF Armed Forces from Kursk, from the territory controlled by the militia. The line of state prosecution is based on the testimony of exclusively anonymous witnesses. The defense of the Russian defendant Pulatov, accused in the case, stated that this makes it difficult to assess the reliability of their testimony, but the Dutch prosecutor's office insists that anonymity is necessary for security reasons. The Russian Foreign Ministry stated that accusations of Russia's involvement in the Boeing crash were unfounded and regrettable, and the investigation was biased and one-sided. According to the head of the department, Sergey Lavrov, it is full of double standards.
