Australian
Foreign Minister Maris Payne accused Russia of not wanting to recognize
the results of the Joint Investigation Group (SSG) investigation into
the causes of the collapse of the Malaysian Boeing over eastern Ukraine
in July 2014.
"I
reaffirm our unconditional support for an independent investigation
conducted by the SSG. We regret that Russia does not accept the actual
evidence provided by the SSG today, and reiterate that Australia fully
trusts the impartiality, independence and professionalism of the SGG and
its conclusions," she after meeting and discussing the issue with the foreign ministers of the Netherlands, Ukraine, Malaysia and Belgium. These countries belong to the VAC.
Payne
noted that "the SSG colleagues ... confirmed their commitment to
establish the truth about who is behind the downed MH17 flight and bring
those responsible to justice."
A similar statement was made by the Prime Minister of the Netherlands Mark Rutte.
During
the general political discussion at the UN General Assembly session, he
said that the SSG "provided convincing evidence" about who owned the
installation, which had shot down the airliner, and stressed the
determination of interested parties to establish the truth about the
tragedy.
The
Malaysian Airlines Boeing-777, which operated the MH17 flight from
Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, crashed on July 17, 2014 in the east of
Donetsk region, resulting in 298 deaths.
In
May, the SSG issued a report stating that a missile fired by plane
could have been delivered from a Russian military unit stationed near
Kursk.
Russia rejects these results. Recently,
the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reported that the
missile that shot down the aircraft was able to be identified, it was
sent to Ukraine back in 1986, and after that, it did not return to the
territory of the Russian Federation.
