In the district court of the Hague meeting on the case of the downed in the Donbass in the summer of 2014, Boeing MH17 Prosecutor ward Ferdinandusse cited the facts that refute the version of crash of the passenger liner, which supported, among others, the Russian media and official representatives of Russia, reports “Interfax”.

The Dutch Prosecutor’s office expressed the view that a passenger “Boeing” could be shot down by the Ukrainian military in the sky over the Donbass in 2014 with SAM “Buk”, as thoroughly studied this version and found no evidence.

So, the prosecution in the case of MH-17 saw problems in the lack of data, a radar contact with the rocket. “There is no evidence indicating that the plane was in the radius in which it could shoot down the Ukrainian armed forces,” – said at the court session in the Hague, one of the representatives of the prosecution.

He explained that at first, investigators identified a “wide area” from which the aircraft could be launched missile. “This area was not under the control of the army of Ukraine”, – said the employee of the Prosecutor’s office.

Then the estimated launch area narrowed. “This small area was completely beyond the control of the armed forces of Ukraine”, – said the representative of the prosecution, explaining that we are talking about the area near the village of Pervomayskaya.

Assessing interactions international investigators from the Russian side, prosecutors said that a considerable amount of information sounded by it was, according to international investigators, is wrong. From this he concluded that “the Russian side acted in bad faith”.

Also, the Prosecutor stated that the investigators checked and found inconclusive and additional versions of the crash – such as the explosion on Board or a blow of a combat aircraft.

We will remind, on Monday in the Hague regional court resumed the hearings on the case of the crash in Eastern Ukraine plane MH-17. They are broadcast on the court’s website.

The hearings were interrupted in March due to the outbreak of the coronavirus in the world. Then in the Netherlands have announced that they will listen to the courts only in urgent matters, and consideration of the case about the crash of a Malaysia Airlines plane in Ukraine was postponed until the summer.

The trial is conducted against four citizens of Russia and Ukraine, which, according to prosecutors, was involved in the tragedy.
