Нет убедительных доказательств того, что Россия стоит за катастрофой MH17: министр транспорта Малайзии

ЦитатаKUALA LUMPUR: There is no conclusive evidence to confirm that Russia was responsible for the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17, Malaysian transport minister Anthony Loke said on Wednesday (May 30).
Investigators probing the 2014 downing of flight MH17 said last Thursday for the first time that the missile which brought down the plane over eastern Ukraine originated from a Russian military brigade. All 298 people onboard died.
Speaking to Channel NewsAsia on Wednesday, Mr Loke said: "There is no conclusive evidence to point at Russia under the JIT (Joint Investigative Team) evidence."
Moscow has rejected JIT's accusation, saying no such weapon had ever crossed the Russian-Ukrainian border and that it was an attempt to "discredit Russia in the eyes of the international community".
"But who's responsible - you can't just pinpoint at Russia," said Mr Loke, when asked about the findings.
"Of course we have to take into consideration diplomatic relations," he said, adding that "any further actions will be based on conclusive evidence".
Australia and the Netherlands, whose citizens were also onboard the plane, have informed Russia that they hold the country responsible under international law for its role in bringing down MH17.
On Tuesday, Russia rejected calls from the Dutch to accept responsibility at a UN Security Council meeting in Ukraine.

The global diplomatic campaign to hold Russia to account for downing Malaysia Airlines flight 17 over Ukraine has hit a surprise hurdle.
Malaysia has broken ranks with Australia and The Netherlands and declared that there is no conclusive evidence to confirm Russia was responsible.
That's also at odds with the multi-country team of investigators, who said only a week ago, they had traced the missile launcher to the Russian Federation's 53rd Anti-Aircraft Rocket Brigade.
Tonight, the Foreign Minister has flatly contradicted the Malaysian Minister. Julie Bishop declared in a statement " the only reasonable conclusion is that Russia played a direct role in the downing" that killed 38 Australians.
Russia, she says, must take responsibility for its role.
