“Everything is connected with the fact that initially, unfortunately, this catastrophe was used as a pretext for whipping up anti-Russian sentiments in Europe and our partners still do not reject this tactic, although the Russian side provided a lot of data indicating that Ukraine was involved in this incident. But, given that the crisis in Kiev is beneficial to certain Western circles and supported by them, they are more interested in shutting off the Ukrainian side so that the true culprits are not established and escape responsibility, ”the deputy said.
Earlier, the Prosecutor General’s Office stated that there was no evidence that Russians were involved in the MH17 crash.
Boeing 777 of Malaysia Airlines, on the flight MN17 from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, crashed on July 17, 2014 in the Donetsk region of Ukraine. Everyone who was on board died: 283 passengers and 15 crew members.
