Putin says MH17 probe shows ‘no proof’ of Russia’s guilt
MOSCOW, June 20, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Russian President Vladimir Putin said on
Thursday the international community had failed to provide any evidence that
Moscow was behind the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 in which 298
people died.
“What we’ve seen as evidence of Russia’s guilt absolutely does not suit
us. We believe that there is no proof there,” Putin told reporters.
On Wednesday, international investigators charged three Russians and a
Ukrainian over the downing of the plane in eastern Ukraine in 2014.
