China News Service, November 18 (Xinhua) Comprehensive foreign media reports, on the 17th local time, the Russian Foreign Ministry said that the Dutch court's conviction of two Russian suspects involved in the crash of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 was a "shameful" ruling.

He also claimed that the Dutch courts selectively accepted the materials of the MH17 case, and the proceedings were unfair.

　　According to Reuters, the Russian Foreign Ministry said that Dutch politicians, prosecutors and the media had exerted unprecedented pressure on the Dutch court, which it said was politically motivated.

　　"The interrogation in the Netherlands is arguably one of the most shameful legal proceedings in the history of legal proceedings," Russia's foreign ministry said in a statement. Moscow has repeatedly denied Russia's accusation that it shot down flight MH17.

　　According to the TASS news agency citing Andrey Klishas, ​​a member of the upper house of the Russian parliament, said that the trial in absentia in the Netherlands will not have any legal consequences, and Moscow will reject the Dutch application for the extradition of the two Russian defendants.

On July 17, 2014, Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 crashed in eastern Ukraine on its way from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, killing all 298 people on board.
