Secretary of the Security and Defense Council (NSDC) of Ukraine Oleksandr Turchynov has said the statement of the Russian side that the missile from which the passenger Boeing of Malaysian Airlines was shot down in 2014 over Donbas was allegedly of Ukrainian origin is false.
“The statement of the Russian Federation about the alleged Ukrainian trace of the missile that downed the MH-17 is another unsuccessful Kremlin fake to cover up its crime, which has already been proven both by an official investigation and by independent expert groups,” Turchynov told Interfax-Ukraine in Kyiv on Monday, commenting on the statement of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
Earlier on Monday, head of the Main Missile and Artillery Directorate of the Russian Defense Ministry Nikolai Parshin said that the missile of the Buk anti-aircraft missile system, which was shot down in 2014 by the Malaysian Boeing MH17, was manufactured in Dolgoprudny outside Moscow in 1986 and sent off to Ukraine, where it no longer returned to Russia.
