Earlier, Moscow called on the Dutch-led team investigating the July 2014 downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 over eastern Ukraine to focus on an impartial analysis of available data. Malaysia’s prime minister has called the team’s latest claims a politically motivated witch hunt against Russia.
Dutch investigators refused to accept new materials on the MH17 case from German private investigator Josef Resch, and did not account for these materials in their presentation on the case last month, Resch has said.
