Rebecca Harms on the interim report of the investigation on the downing of the MH17 aircraft

Today, the Joint Investigation Team in charge of investigating the downing of the passenger aircraft MH17 over Eastern Ukraine in July 2014, presented its interim results in an intermediary report

Rebecca Harms, Member of the Greens/EFA in the European Parliament, comments the findings of the investigation:

"The international team of investigators has only presented their interim results. But they presented undeniable evidence, that the MH17 aircraft was downed by a Buk missile, belonging to the 53rd Brigade of the Russian Military, based in Kursk.

I welcome the next steps of the investigation during which a list of perpetrators will be established.
The people responsible for the death of the human beings, who died in the crash of the passenger aircraft, must be held accountable.

It is right, that in the course of the investigation, witness protection programmes are being offered to the eyewitnesses. It is an unbearable provocation that until today Russia, whose army is the owner of the missile launcher used for the downing of MH17, is hindering and delaying the investigation."
