For the investigation of the disaster of the Malaysian passenger ship, Boeing-777 is not required to declare a truce. According to ITAR-TASS, this was stated by the commander of the Donetsk militants Igor Girkin. "The place of the fall of Boeing is located in the deep rear of the DPR militia, and no humanitarian trucks or corridors for an objective investigation of the causes of the tragedy are required," the terrorist said.
According to Girkin, "the commission can freely arrive there and study the place of fall." “Nobody will interfere with her,” the terrorist assured. “But it is inappropriate to stop the fighting against the surrounded enemy group.”
Girkin’s statement ITAR-TASS cited with reference to the news agency Novorossia , which supports terrorists. Meanwhile, as of 11:00 on Friday, there was no relevant information on the agency’s website.
At the same time, Interfax said that the “First Deputy Prime Minister of the DPR” Andrei Purgin made the opposite statement. "We are negotiating the humanitarian truce for two to four days to investigate the causes of the Boeing crash in the sky over Donetsk," the terrorist said. He added that at 12:00 on Donetsk (13:00 Moscow time), consultations of militants on this issue with a tripartite contact group from representatives of Ukraine, OSCE and Russia will continue.
"Now we are talking about the fact that the international group will include representatives of the" Donetsk People’s Republic ", OSCE, ICAO, as well as two more organizations that are investigating a crash," Purgin also said. "We are ready to allow even Ukrainian investigators to the place."
Girkin was the first to publicly report the disaster of the aircraft . “In the Snezhny area, the An-26 was just knocked out, it was lying around the Progress mine,” he was announced on his face in Vkontakte at 17:37 Thursday. Later, however, when it turned out that he was not shot down by a military, but a civilian aircraft, this post was removed.
Meanwhile, a number of evidence proves that the aircraft was shot down by terrorists with the participation of the Russian GRU. This version adheres to the United States and a number of other countries. So, Australia Prime Minister Tony Ebbot said: "Now it can be said almost with the confidence that the plane was shot down by the air missile provided by Russia."
On the eve of Purgin, he said that the on -board recorders of a crashed aircraft will be transferred for examination to the International Aviation Committee in Moscow. Meanwhile, a high -ranking American official said that if the militants hide evidence from the aircraft falling or refuse to cooperate in the investigation, this will confirm their involvement in the terrorist attack.
