Moscow does not believe in tears

Russia is responsible for the death of passengers of the Malaysian liner near Donetsk. This was announced at an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council by diplomats from the USA, Great Britain and Lithuania. The world community should demand from Russia to terminate the policy of destabilization of the East of Ukraine, representatives of Western democracies believe.

It is necessary to ensure a full -fledged international investigation and bring to justice the guilty of the death of Boeing, the meeting participants emphasized.

Russia provides direct military support to armed groups in the east of Ukraine, said the British ambassador to the UN Mark Laileall Grant. “These people do not represent the Ukrainian people,” he emphasized. According to Grant, Moscow is responsible for the situation she created. Russia must unequivocally condemn the actions of the militants, call them to disarm and return to the democratic mechanisms provided for in the peaceful plan of President Petro Poroshenko, the British diplomat believes.

US representative Samantha Power recalled that the DPR militants have modern anti-aircraft missile systems and boasted of the results of their use. At the same time, rebels cannot use modern air defense systems without the help of Russian military specialists, Power noted. The Ukrainian army did not have the means of air defense in the Donetsk region, where Boeing was shot down from the beginning of the crisis of the air defense forces of Ukraine did not release a single rocket, Power emphasized.

“We warned that if Russia does not stop supporting separatists, this will lead to tragic consequences,” Power said. President Vladimir Putin at international meetings spoke of his commitment to the world, but each time he violated his promises, the US representative said. Russia continues to supply tanks and artillery to the militants, the recruitment of Russian volunteers is expanding to participate in the war in the east of Ukraine, the DPR office was opened in Moscow, Power noted. She also mentioned the case of Nadezhda Savchenko, a Ukrainian pilot, who was captured by the separatists and found herself in a Russian prison.

If Putin continues the escalation of the conflict, the world community will impose new sanctions against Russia, Power said. “Russia should put an end to this war and can do it,” she emphasized. According to the American, the West still advocates the diplomatic decision and supports Poroshenko’s peace plan. The President of Ukraine proposed an amnesty, a corridor for Russian militants, a political dialogue and the expansion of the autonomy of the eastern regions, Power recalled.

“This tragedy would not have been if Russia had not supported terrorists,” said Ukrainian representative Yuri Sergeyev. He emphasized that it is possible to bring down the plane at such a height only with the perfect air defense systems, such as Buk. Ukraine will transfer the international commission to evidence of the supply of such systems to terrorists, he said. Sergeev recalled that one of the leaders of the terrorists Igor Girkin (Strelkov) reported after the disaster that the militants shot down a Ukrainian plane.

Sergeev also announced systematic provocations from Russia, the penetration of militants across the border and the supply of equipment to them. Russia continues to move its troops to the border. On July 14 there were up to 33 battalions.

In turn, the representative of Russia Vitaly Churkin said that during the investigation it is necessary to study the actions of the Ukrainian authorities that have not closed dangerous airspace. Churkin accused the Ukrainian authorities of violating humanitarian norms during an anti -terrorist operation, shelling of the Russian territory, which Moscow considers "acts of aggression", suppression of dissent and reprisals against political opponents. "On the fifth channel belonging to Mr. Poroshenko, they showed an advertisement for eruption of insects against the backdrop of the map of the East of Ukraine," Churkin was indignant. According to him, the West does not want to do anything to resolve the situation.

Earlier on Wednesday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the UN Security Council should speak for an independent, impartial and open investigation. He also noted that Russia will not pick up the “black boxes” of Boeing-777 . "Contrary to what sounds from Kyiv, we are not going to take these boxes, we are not going to violate the norms that exist for such cases in the international community," the official said.

On Thursday , there was a catastrophe of the Malaysian passenger ship Boeing-777 . 298 people died. A number of evidence proves that the plane was shot down by a rocket released with the territory controlled by the militants. 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."
