There is no sufficient reason to blame Russia for the crash of the MH17 aircraft in 2014 in eastern Ukraine, Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Mohamad stated in an interview with RIA Novosti. He emphasized that the results of the investigation did not seem correct to many people in Malaysia.
According to Mohamad, Malaysia has long been limited in access to disaster case data. Therefore, Malaysian experts are not sure that the evidence provided now is based on facts. At the same time, it is obvious that the accusations against Russia are caused by both the poor relations of the Western countries with Moscow and the need to identify the culprit for insurance payments.
Mahathir Mohamad noted that, in particular, it seemed unlikely that the investigation would establish the persons who shot at the Boeing MH17. It is possible to establish the type of weapon that struck the injured part of the aircraft, but the names of the shooters can hardly be called, because the installation could be moved immediately after the rocket was launched.
The information collected by the German detective Joseph Resch is of particular interest. It was not taken into account by the Joint Investigative Group, but the Malaysian side is ready to listen to Resha, the prime minister said. Mohamad called for the establishment of a neutral body that would bring together experts from different countries to conduct an investigation.
Russkiy Mir reported that the Netherlands refused to take into account the information of German private detective Joseph Resch regarding the crash of the Malaysian plane over the Donbass in 2014. The Russian embassy is confident that the Hague’s decision is yet another proof of the correctness of Russia's position on the investigation of the Joint Investigative Group.
The plane flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur by flight MH17 crashed near Donetsk five years ago, on July 17, 2014. All 298 people on board died. Russian experts initially suggested to take part in the work but were removed from the investigation. Meanwhile, Moscow is ready to recognize the results of the investigation only if it takes a full part in it.
