Dutch Experts Arrive in Donetsk to Visit MH17 Crash Site - DPR

Last week, Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop told The New York Times that ministers from Belgium, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Ukraine, and Australia would meet on Tuesday to discuss the creation of an international tribunal on the tragedy, which will not require UN approval.

A Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said earlier in September that Western efforts to set up an international tribunal on the Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 crash in east Ukraine is premature and counterproductive.

Flight MH17 went down in the Donetsk region on July 17, 2014, while traveling to Kuala Lumpur from Amsterdam. All 298 passengers and crew on board, the majority of whom were Dutch citizens, perished in the accident.
