The conclusions of the international investigation team about the causes of the crash of the Malaysian liner in the Donbass in 2014 have nothing to do with reality. This was stated in the Kremlin. "The investigation, which was carried out in the Netherlands by the investigative team, it did not include the Russian side, although the Ukrainian side was represented. Of course, not being able to be a full participant in the work of this investigation group, Russia does not know to what extent it is possible to trust the results of this work, "Dmitry Peskov, the presidential press secretary, told journalists, he is quoted by RIA Novosti,. Thus, the Russian authorities "unconditionally" rejected all accusations of involvement of our servicemen in a catastrophe. Unwillingness to allow Russian experts to investigate and use the information of our tracking facilities seems suspicious to a representative of the Kremlin. "This is a joint investigation team, and Russia has expressed its willingness to provide all necessary assistance in identifying those implicated and guilty of this tragedy," stressed Peskov. He added that the head of state, because of the tight work schedule, has not yet got acquainted with the conclusions of international investigators. The Ministry of Defense, in turn, said that the missile, which was allegedly shot down by Boeing 777, was not in service with the Russian army. "The serial number on the rocket engine clearly indicates that this unit was manufactured in 1986. in Soviet Union. In this case, the warranty period for the operation of anti-aircraft missiles of this type is 15 years. The deadline for the operation of the rocket was 2011. , after which all the missiles of the given year of release were seized, written off and sent for recycling, "said a representative of the Defense Ministry. No Russian ZRK ever crossed the border with Ukraine after the collapse of the USSR. At the same time, old Soviet missiles remained in the arsenal of the Ukrainian army. After 1991. at the disposal of Nezalezhnaya there are about 20 battalions "Buk". The defense department drew attention to the fact that the investigation keeps silent about the date and location of the rocket engine detection, which allegedly killed an airliner. The military suggested that the commission hides this information because the engine may belong to Ukraine. On the eve of the Russian Foreign Ministry announced that the allegations of the international investigation group are unfounded and cause regret, and the investigation is biased and one-sided.

President Vladimir Putin noted that Russia is not allowed to be investigated, so Moscow can only accept the results of the investigation if it takes full participation in it. Boeing 777 of Malaysia Airlines, operating a flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, crashed in the Donbass on July 17, 2014. As a result of the crash, all 283 passengers and 15 crew members were killed. Yesterday, on May 24, an international investigation team presented interim results of the investigation. They claim that the airliner was shot down from the Buk SAM, which belonged to the 53rd Air Defense Missile Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces from Kursk.
