  1.  @lastkidonthemoon  You are right. Malaysia airline Flight 17 was shot down in July 2014 in Donetsk in Eastern Ukraine by a Russian-made 9N314M-type warhead carried on the 9M38M1 missile from the metal fragments found in the in the bodies of the crew.. In 2016, an international joint investigation team (JIT) determined that MH17 was shot down by a Russian Buk antiaircraft system that had been brought to a farm field near Pervomaiskyi in Eastern Ukraine at the time controlled by separatists and on the same day returned to Russia, minus one missile after the passenger airliner was shot down. The JIT later determined the Buk had been provided by the Russian 53rd Anti-aircraft Brigade based in Kursk, Russia. JIT sought and heard witnesses (including citizens from Kurk Russia) and experts, analyzed radar and satellite images, assessed large amounts of telecom data such as intercepted telephone conversations and analyzed data. In 2019 Dutch courts charged in absentia three Russians and one Ukrainian for the shooting down of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17. In 2022 two Russians and one Ukrainian were convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison and ordered to pay E16m in compensation to the victims. They are: Sergei Dubinsky who is linked to Russian intelligence & separatists' military intelligence chief was found to have ordered and overseen the transport of the Buk missile launcher; Russian Igor Girkin (alias Igor Ivanovich Strelkov), a former Russian Intelligence, colonel of GRU, (Russia's external military intelligence organization) and the military leader of the so-called Donetsk People's Republic was convicted of deploying the missile and seeking Russian help; Ukrainian separatist Leonid Kharchenko was found to have overseen the Buk, acting on Dubinsky's instructions all three were convicted for shooting down MH17. Russian Oleg Pulatov (ex-Russian special forces soldier) was charged was acquitted for lack of evidence. Russia being a permanent member of the UN Social Security veto to block a draft resolution that would have created an international tribunal to prosecute those responsible for bringing down this flight. Under Article 61 of the Russia's constitution, a Russian citizen can not be extradited to another state, while the one Ukrainian has been given Russian citizenship. Therefore there likely will be no justice for those on board Flight MH17, 298 from 17 countries including 80 children , 196 were from the Netherlands, 43 from Malaysia, 38 from Australia and 10 from the UK. The Dutch and Australian governments, which hold Russia responsible, have started a proceeding against the Russian Federation at the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). Andy Kraag, the head of the police investigation, said research was continuing into possible other suspects, including higher in the chain of command. Investigators are also looking at the crew of the missile system which launched the fatal rocket.
