SUMMARY

Dutch and Russian foreign ministers planned to discuss, among other things, the investigation into the Malaysian Boeing-777 that was shot down by a Ukrainian Buk 17 July 2014.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation about MH17. euvsdisinfo.eu/disinformation-cases/?text=mh17&disinfo_issue=&date=, The Joint Investigation Team has concluded that flight MH17 was shot down on 17 July 2014 by a missile of the 9M38 series, launched by a BUK-TELAR, from farmland in the vicinity of Pervomaiskiy (or: Pervomaiskyi). At that time, the area was controlled by pro-Russian fighters. The BUK-TELAR was brought in from the territory of the Russian Federation and subsequently, after having shot down flight MH-17, was taken back to the Russian Federation. https://www.om.nl/onderwerpen/mh17-crash/@96068/jit-flight-mh17-shot/
