The German BND foreign intelligence agency’s new report on the Boeing crash in Ukraine in fact contradicts the Western version on the causes of the tragedy. On Monday this opinion was voiced by Alexey Pushkov, the head of the foreign-affairs committee in the State Duma, the lower house of the Russian parliament.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe German intelligence report questions the main version which was accepted by the West and stated by a range of Western politicians and almost all mass media that Russia had handed over to militias the Buk missile systems that were used to shoot down the Malaysian Boeing,\u201d Alexey Pushkov said.<\/p>\n
“The German intelligence stated: The Boeing was downed by a Buk missile system ‘captured by militias.’ That means Russia was not involved. And the Buk could have been launched by the Ukrainian Armed Forces,” Pushkov said on Twitter.<\/p>\n
This came after BND President Gerhard Schindler claimed his agency had found that Donbas militia was responsible for shooting down the Malaysian Boeing using a Buk missile system, though no evidence was unveiled.<\/p>\n
Self-defence\u00a0leader Andrej Purgin said on\u00a0Sunday in response that pro-Russian groups could not have shot down MH17.\u00a0According Purgin the Buk missile system is very complicated and self-defence forces do not\u00a0have\u00a0the knowledge to operate such a system.<\/p>\n
He blamed the\u00a0leadership in Kiev for the disaster. It is incomprehensible Purgin said, that the government had not closed the airspace over the conflict area.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe new version means that Russia has no relation to the downed Boeing,\u201d Pushkov stressed.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf this was done by a Ukrainian missile, Russia has no relation at all to this tragic event,\u201d Pushkov said.<\/p>\n
The Dutch Safety Board, which is leading the probe and coordinating the international team of investigators, said in its preliminary report published September 9 that \u201cFlight MH17 with a Boeing 777-200 operated by Malaysia Airlines broke up in the air probably as the result of structural damage caused by a large number of high-energy objects that penetrated the aircraft from outside.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile there will not be hearing about the plane crash of\u00a0flight MH17 in the Netherlands\u00a0because coalition parties are blocking it.<\/p>\n
It appears the VVD and PvdA do not find it necessary to study\u00a0satellite images showing the the downing of the plane.<\/p>\n
On July 17, a Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 passenger airliner on flight MH17 en route from the Dutch city of Amsterdam to the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur crashed in the Donetsk Region in eastern Ukraine, killing all 298 people on board.<\/p>\n
The hearing could “hamper”\u00a0the ongoing investigation by the Prosecution into\u00a0the cause of the disaster, \u00a0VVD MP Han ten Broeke told\u00a0NU.nl.<\/p>\n
The CDA and D66 insisted Sunday on\u00a0a hearing\u00a0after\u00a0satellite images and various photographs were provided by\u00a0German intelligence (BND).<\/p>\n
