13 October, 10:54
(ANSA) - MOSCOW (AP) - A Russian state-controlled
missile-maker says its own investigation of last year's crash of
the MH17 airliner over rebel eastern Ukraine contradicts
conclusions from a Dutch probe.
Results of the Dutch investigation are to be released later Tuesday. Yan Novikov, head of the Russian Almaz-Antey concern, did not specify what was in the report and he did not say at a news conference whether he had been given an advance look.
The Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 crashed July 17, 2014, in rebel-controlled eastern Ukraine and is widely believed to have been shot down by a surface-to-air missile; all 298 people aboard died.
Ukraine and Western countries contend the missile was fired by Russian troops or Russian-backed separatists. The allegations have focused on the Russian-made Buk missile system, which has several variants. (ANSA-AP).
