Russian Foreign Ministry accuses intl inquiry of ignoring Moscow's evidence of Boeing crash causes
MOSCOW. Sept 28 (Interfax) - The international inquiry is still ignoring the evidence being provided by Russia of the causes of the crash of the Malaysian Boeing in Donbas in July of 2014, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said on Wednesday.
"To this day, the inquiry has continued to ignore the irrefutable evidence from Russia, despite Russia being effectively the only [country] sending reliable information and divulging ever more data," Zakharova said in a commentary on the ministry's website in relation to the publication of an interim report by the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) into who was responsible for the airliner's crash in eastern Ukraine.
It is hoped "that after Russia provided the JIT with such unquestionable evidence as primary radar data - and every specialist is clear that this is the ultimate evidence - the situation will change and the final conclusions of the inquiry, unlike the previous ones, will turn into objective truth and eventually point to the real culprits of the tragedy," Zakharova said.
"Everything that Dutch prosecutors' so-called 'body of proof' is based upon was provided by Ukrainian security and defense authorities which, no doubt, are an interested party," the ministry said.
