A senior Russian official has rejected calls for the establishment of a UN tribunal to try those responsible for the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 in eastern Ukraine last year.
Deputy foreign minister Gennady Gatilov was quoted by Russian news agencies as saying: “We are against it. We think it is not timely and counterproductive.”

The five countries of the joint investigation team – Australia, Belgium, Malaysia, the Netherlands and Ukraine – met last week in New York to discuss the proposed international tribunal.
Gatilov insisted the continuing investigation should be completed before any further steps are taken.
He said: “Now we must wait until the end of the investigation rather than adopt hasty resolutions on creating a tribunal.” Gatilov added that “the issue is very sensitive and serious and must be thoroughly studied”.
Pas vraiment une surprise…
