MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Moscow has doubts regarding the competence of investigators working on the Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 case, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Thursday.

According to the spokeswoman, all parts of the ill-fated Boeing's wreckage were not collected, and all of Russia's remarks regarding this were ignored by Dutch experts, who "categorically stated that all that is necessary for a successful investigation has been moved to the Netherlands."

"Of course, this attitude cannot but raise doubts regarding the competence of the investigators and the quality of the investigation."

Zakharova stated earlier in September that the Ukrainian authorities had denied Russian experts access to the crash site and had not provided the international community with records of military air traffic control communications.

Flight MH17 went down in the eastern Donetsk region of Ukraine on July 17, 2014, en route from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur. All 298 people on board, the majority of whom were Dutch citizens, died in the accident.

A preliminary report, conducted by the Dutch Safety Board, concluded that the aircraft broke up in midair after being hit by numerous high-energy objects from outside.

The Russian Foreign Ministry has called for the ongoing comprehensive investigation into the crash to be concluded before embarking on additional efforts. A final report is expected from the Dutch Safety Board on October 13.
