RT informs that Moscow provided the Netherlands with radar and other data on the MH17 crash but it has all been ignored, a Russian aviation official said, responding to the relatives of Dutch victims who recently wrote to President Vladimir Putin.
According to TASS, Russia’s Federal Air Transport Agency Deputy Head, Oleg Storchevoi, responded to a letter written by the relatives of the air disaster’s victims to Russia’s President Vladimir Putin. In this letter he writes that Russia has numerously pointed to the extremely closed nature and biased approach of the Dutch technical investigation conducted by the Dutch Safety Board.
Moreover, Oleg Storchevoi said on Tuesday that Russia feared that the criminal probe into the MH17 air crash in east Ukraine being conducted by the joint investigative group would fail to establish the true reasons of the disaster. "I would like to emphasize that Russia is strongly committed to establishing the actual cause of the crash, and has consistently done everything in its power to help find out the truth, both throughout the course of the technical investigation and following its official completion," he said.
The Russian aviation deputy chief claims Kiev must also present radar data on the crash: "The Ukrainian government, for its part, must disclose its primary radar data, or present credible evidence of their non-existence."
