MH17 Indictments, Joint Investigation Team, Russian Suspects
International prosecutors in the Netherlands have charged four men with murder for the 2014 downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 over eastern Ukraine. The Joint Investigation Team (JIT) utilized evidence from Bellingcat and intercepted phone calls to link the suspects to a Russian-supplied Buk missile launcher.
MH17 Investigation, Russian Defense Ministry Briefing
The Russian Defense Ministry held a live press conference presenting new evidence regarding the 2014 downing of flight MH17 over Ukraine. Officials claimed to have rocket "passports" proving the Buk missile involved belonged to the Ukrainian army. Audio recordings were also played, purportedly showing Ukrainian officials discussing the accidental downing of aircraft.
New radar data released by Russia reportedly suggests that the missile that downed Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 was fired from Ukrainian-controlled territory. Dutch investigators have been criticized for allegedly ignoring this data. Professor Kees van der Pijl argues the disaster benefited the U.S. by disrupting the BRICS bank agreement and Russian gas pipelines to Europe.
MH17 Investigation and New Ukrainian Conflict Conclusions
A Dutch television report presented new conclusions regarding the downing of Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 over Ukraine. The report suggests that intensified fighting led to the accidental launch of a Buk missile, while also noting that local internet outages prevented standard monitoring of the flight path.
The reappearance of a former NTSB investigator triggers a discussion on the forensics of air disasters. The hosts compare the "nanosecond of sound" used to explain the TWA 800 explosion to the 2.3-millisecond sound peak used to identify the missile strike on MH17, expressing skepticism about official narratives.
A report from the Dutch broadcaster NOS claimed that the investigation into the downing of flight MH17 points toward a Russian Buk missile. However, Russia Today (RT) contacted Dutch prosecutors who stated that no such final conclusion has been reached. The hosts suggest the Dutch media is pushing a narrative to satisfy a traumatized public despite a lack of verified evidence.
