Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said there’s “no proof” Russia is to blame for the 2014 downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 over eastern Ukraine.

The international team investigating the crash leveled murder charges against three Russians and a Ukrainian that it said were responsible for shooting down the aircraft.
