According to the Financial Times, Ukraine announced the granting of a monetary prize for the capture of “Russian wanted suspects,” who were responsible for shooting down the “MH17” aeroplane in 2014.
After a 15-month inquiry, it was revealed in October 2015 that the Malaysian Airlines disaster over Ukrainian territory was most likely caused by a Russian-made missile that was dropped from the aircraft.
The BUK missile, according to Dutch investigators, was launched from East Ukraine, which was governed by separatists loyal to Russia.
The inspectors stated that the shrapnel discovered in the cockpit served as the foundation for the inquiry, which involved five different countries.
“A missile explosion near the left side of the cockpit, which caused the cockpit to be removed from the aircraft, caused the Malaysian jet to crash on July 17, 2014.
“All of the 298 MH17 passengers perished in the crash. According to the free network, the majority of them are Dutch.
Returning to the reward, the newspaper says: “The Ukrainians collected millions of dollars through online donations to buy drones, weapons, Starlink and other equipment to help their army fight Vladimir Putin’s invading forces. Recently, a reward was added to that list.
“According to the newspaper, “the funding started to gather in the form of a prize, on Saturday, for individuals who help in the arrest of, Igor Jerkin, the prominent Russian nationalist who headed the Kurdish-backed separatists during Putin’s first invasion of Ukraine in 2014.” According to Sergey Sterenko, the Ukrainian activist who is in charge of this campaign, the total amount of $ 150,000 was exceeded on Sunday afternoon.
She emphasised that “Former Russian intelligence operative Girkin is (.
In the early stages of the 2014 conflict, he led the Kremlin forces in Slovenk, eastern Ukraine. Igor Strakekov, who goes by the nickname “the shooter” and is renowned for his violence, was mentioned after it.”
She observes that “MH17 of Malaysian Airlines was shot down by Russian forces when he was in power, killing 298 of the crew and passengers. Jerkin is one of four people being tried in the Netherlands for their roles in the plane’s landing.
The court is anticipated to make a decision in the matter this month. Next “.
Russia used its veto power to block the Security Council’s adoption of a resolution in July 2015 that would have established an international tribunal to try those responsible for the downing of the airliner.
While Russia denies any participation in the tragedy, Ukraine and Western nations think that Russian military or separatists with Moscow’s help fired a missile at the jet.
Russia has stated its disagreement to the proposed decision and provided a substitute that calls for the establishment of an international court without establishing justice for those implicated.
Ukraine announces a cash reward for information leading to the capture of Russian suspects accused of shooting down an airliner in 2014.
