Netherlands denounces Russia for MH17 crash

It is "another blow to relations," says the Russian ministry.
Luck was not good for Malaysia Airlines six years ago. On March 8, 2014, one of his 777 Boeing suffered one of the most mysterious accidents in the history of aviation, it simply disappeared from the map without a trace, claiming the lives of 239 people, including passengers and crew. It was flight MH370, even today, perhaps, the greatest mystery in the history of the investigation of air accidents
Just four months later, another of its aircraft of the same model, the Boeing 777, also suffered a fatal accident while on a cruise flight under Ukraine. It was flight MH17 and had taken off from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur. There were 298 people on board between crew and passengers. There were no survivors!
This, however, was not an accident as mysterious and inexplicable as the first. The plane, according to reports, was shot down by a direct hit by an anti-aircraft missile. Ukraine was involved in strong instability and internal political and military struggle in the mainstay of a confrontation between NATO and Russia inherent in the control of the country, whose location allows NATO to keep Russia under the sights of missiles fired near its southern border, a privilege that Russia does not have it because it does not exert interference or domination over any country that borders the USA.
It is in this context that the present news is inserted. The Netherlands, a member of NATO and the country from which the shot down departed, accuses Russia of participating in the killing and promises to take the Russian accused to the European Court of Human Rights.
Russia rejects the charge and says it has nothing to do with shooting down an area outside its jurisdiction. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs considers that the case is just a politicization of the slaughter that intends to harm Russia in the clash with NATO.
Four suspects were charged: Russians Sergey Dubinski, Oleg Pulatov, Igor Girkin and Ukrainian Leonid Chatshenko. Their involvement is that they transported the missile system used for slaughter.
Pulatov has delegated his case to a Dutch lawyer, but the rest of the accused deny the charges and will be tried in absentia.
