The G7 foreign ministers of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States, as well as the High Representative of the European Union have called on Russia to cooperate with MH17 investigators.
“We fully support the work of the Joint Investigation Team (JIT), an independent criminal investigation led by the Netherlands, Australia, Belgium, Malaysia and Ukraine. The JIT’s findings on Russia’s role in the downing of MH17 are compelling, significant and deeply disturbing. The G7 recalls that UN Security Council Resolution 2166 demands that all states cooperate fully with efforts to establish accountability. We are united in our support of Australia and the Netherlands as they call on Russia to account for its role in this incident and to cooperate fully with the process to establish the truth and achieve justice for the victims of MH17 and their next of kin,” the G7 foreign ministers said in a statement in advance of the anniversary of the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17.
