“I think if someone really wanted to achieve the truth in this matter, then all of the above data would have long been attached to the proceedings. And everything would have been obvious and clear long ago. But then, no Russian citizens or Russian structures would have anything to do with everything that happened. And the task is completely opposite, ”he said.

During a court hearing on July 3 in Schiphol in the case of the crash in 2014 of an airplane following flight MH17, it was decided to request satellite images from the disaster area from the US authorities. Until now, these data are present in the case only in the form of a text description, and Judge Hendrick Steinheis stated that since the fall of 2016 the prosecutor’s office did not even try to access these images as part of the investigation. 

At the same time, the court rejected the defense’s request for a repeated request for information from NATO radars, which could record the situation in the sky over the Donbass at the time of the crash.
