The final report on the probe into the MH17 crash in east Ukraine last year caused a lot a questions that stll require answers, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Wednesday.
"As for the Boeing, we’ll study the report, which was released yesterday. Already now, we have a lot of questions. Actually, we had questions from the very beginning. And there are no answers to them," Lavrov said during the government’s question time in the State Duma, the lower house of Russia’s parliament.
"We always respect someone else’s opinion but we want to do this on the basis of reciprocity," Lavrov said.
"However, our opinion was not respected or specially requested. We literally requested that Almaz-Antey, the manufacturer of a missile, which, as they assert, shot down the airliner, should participate in the broadest possible way in all experiments and answer all the questions and give reference data. But nothing of this kind happened," the Russian foreign minister said.
The countries that took part in the probe should respect the UN Security Council, which adopted a resolution in July 2014 urging an objective and unbiased investigation of the MH17 air crash, Lavrov said.
"International standards required the involvement of ICAO [the International Civil Aviation Organization] but not on a folding seat as was the case but in a full-fledged format. However, this was not done. There was also a requirement that the Security Council should be regularly informed about progress in the probe. This was not done either. We proposed sending a Security Council mission to the crash site but our Western partners also gave this up," the Russian foreign minister said....
