UNITED NATIONS (Sputnik) — Ukraine's Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin vowed on Tuesday to "spare no efforts" to bring to justice those who downed the Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 in eastern Ukraine last year.
His comments follow the release of the MH17 crash report, prepared by the Dutch Safety Board responsible for the investigation of the incident. According to the report, the aircraft crashed as a result of a ground-to-air missile explosion near the left side of the plane.
"[W]e will spare no efforts together…to bring the perpetrators [responsible for MH17 plane crash] to justice," Klimkin told journalists at the United Nations.

The Malaysian airliner crashed near the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk while en route from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur on July 17, 2014. All 298 people on board, mostly Dutch citizens, were killed.
Ukraine and its Western allies blame the militia in the country’s east for downing the aircraft. The militia claimed they do not have weapons capable of bringing down a commercial passenger aircraft flying at cruise altitude and blamed Kiev forces for the crash.
