You're reading: Lavrov: Air crash inquiry thwarted by Kyiv with West’s connivance

Dushanbe - The authorities in Kyiv, helped by a number of Western countries, have been grossly violating the requirements of the UN SC resolution on the inquiry into the Malaysian Boeing crash in Ukraine, thus preventing international experts from starting their work at the scene, said Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

“We insist on strict compliance with this resolution, especially,
where it stipulates an immediate end to hostilities in the zone where
the aircraft debris fell,” Lavrov told young Tajik diplomats during his
visit to Dushanbe on Wednesday, July 30.

“This requirement is being grossly violated by the Ukrainian military
with the connivance of a number of Kyiv’s Western protectors, which
prevents international experts from swiftly starting their work,” the
Russian minister said.
