Russian evidence on MH17 crash ignored – Peskov — RT News
▻https://www.rt.com/news/318363-dutch-investigators-ignore-russia

A number of facts presented by Russia regarding last year’s crash of Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 in eastern Ukraine are being ignored, Vladimir Putin’s spokesman said, a day ahead of the Dutch Safety Board presenting its final technical report on the catastrophe.

“There are facts delivered by the Russian side that for unclear reasons are being apparently ignored,” the Russian president’s press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, told journalists.

Peskov said that the Russian side has “repeatedly expressed its disappointment over the lack of proper level of cooperation and engagement of the Russian experts into the investigation.”

The spokesperson noted that certain leaks from the report that emerged earlier could not be verified and proved authentic.

Peskov called on the media to wait for the official report’s release and promised that the document is going to be “most thoroughly examined” by Russian experts.

According to a report in the Malaysian media, Russia’s Roasaviation flight authority handed over to the Netherlands some “serious remarks” in response to the abstract of the final report on the reasons for the MH17 crash on July 17, 2014, which killed all 298 passengers and crew members onboard.

Malaysian newspaper New Straits Time cited the deputy head of Roasaviation, Oleg Storchevoy, who wrote a letter to the International Civil Aviation Association (ICAA), accusing the Dutch-led joint investigation group of ignoring “comprehensive information delivered by Russia.”

Possible BUK missile parts found at MH17 crash site - CBS News

Dutch prosecutors have said for the first time that they have found possible parts of a BUK missile system at the site in eastern Ukraine where Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was brought down last year, killing all 298 people on board.

In a joint statement with the Dutch Safety Board (DSB) on Tuesday, prosecutors said the parts “are of particular interest to the criminal investigation as they can possibly provide more information about who was involved in the crash of MH17.”

They are examining several parts of the possible BUK missile system that could be linked to the downing of the plane, and they will enlist the help of international experts to establish if there is a connection.

Prosecutors have previously said they are treating a missile strike as the most likely scenario for the downing of Flight MH17, which crashed over territory held by pro-Russian rebels in July 2014 while en route from Amsterdam to Malaysia, but Tuesday’s announcement was the first time they had described possible physical evidence of a missile.

However, they cautioned that the conclusion cannot yet be drawn “that there is a causal connection between the discovered parts and the crash of flight MH17,” the statement said.

The wreckage of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 is being collected and removed from the crash site in rebel-held Donetsk in eastern Ukraine.

In a statement, the Dutch Safety Board, which is investigating the cause of the crash, said that the wreckage will be transported to the Netherlands, where investigators intend to reconstruct a section of the aircraft.

Alexander Kostrubitsky, the head of the emergency services in the rebel-held areas of the Donetsk region, told the Associated Press that the operation could take around 10 days. The debris is being sawn into smaller pieces to facilitate its transportation, Kostrubitsky said.

L’article de Reuters, lui, est totalement incompréhensible.

Il commence par la reprise du texte ci-dessus (la dépêche) en 3 paragraphes puis enchaine en mélangeant absolument tout : la responsabilité de l’attaque, l’action de la délégation néerlandaise,… On finit par ne plus savoir si ce sont les services ukrainiens ou les locaux de la DPR qui ramassent les morceaux de l’épave.
(je ne reprends que ce qui concerne la délégation)

The Dutch Safety Board said it had commissioned Ukraine’s State Emergency Service to collect parts of the wreckage from the crash site on its behalf.

The air safety inspectorate intends to reconstruct parts of the airliner in the Netherlands in order to ascertain the cause of the crash.

“The crash area is large, so we do not intend to recover all the wreckage,” said Safety Board spokesman Wim van der Weegen. “We’ve got a specific number of items we would like to recover.”

MH17 crash: Black boxes show plane suffered ’massive explosive decompression’ following shrapnel hit - Europe - World - The Independent
▻http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/mh17-crash-black-boxes-show-plane-suffered-massive-explosive-decompre

Flight MH17 was brought down by shrapnel that caused “massive explosive decompression,” analysis of the black box recorders has found.

The results, given today by Ukrainian security official Andriy Lysenko, have, however, left Dutch officials stunned as they did not expect the “premature” announcement.

Mr Lysenko told a news conference that the fragments had come from a rocket blast.

His source however, is under scrutiny after the Dutch Safety Board (DSB) confirmed they did not give the information to Ukraine.

DSB spokeswoman Sara Vernooij told The Independent: "I can’t make a comment on what source Mr. Lysenko has.

"We don’t want to confirm or say anything about the information on the black boxes right now; this in the best interest of the investigation itself.

"We want to analyse [and] combine information of several sources before we bring out anything, so we can give a coherent view on the whole investigation.

“Bringing out fragmented pieces of information is not on behalf of the investigation.”
