On Saturday, the presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov in an interview with the first channel said that the investigation of the Boeing-777 crash was conducted in the conditions of a deliberately biased attitude to Russia. “The investigation cannot be conducted based on the paradigm, when a few minutes after the tragedy at the official level in famous countries, they act and say that Russia is to blame,” Peskov said. “If the investigation is based on this paradigm, it is doomed to bias, it is doomed to failure.”
On Friday, the Foreign Ministry of the Netherlands called the ambassador of Russia. He was demanded to explain the criticism of Moscow by the MH17 disaster investigation. The Netherlands Foreign Minister Bert Kunders said that the Russian reaction to the results of the investigation "casts doubt on the honesty, professionalism and independence of" investigators, the agency reports. "The Russian was reported that such unreasonable criticism is unacceptable," the minister said.

On the same day, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov refused to apologize for the death of Boeing-777 . "Apologize for what?" -Lavrov asked in response to the proposal of the host of the BBC Steven Sakura to apologize in connection with the published information. According to the minister, Russia intends to wait for the final results of the investigation, since it has not yet been completed. “There are a hundred names that appear in the investigation, but they still do not even pass as suspects,” he said.
On Wednesday, investigators of the International Investigative Group submitted a second report on the reasons for the collapse of the Boeing-777 in the sky above the Donbass. The report states that the missile that had shot down the Malaysian liner was released from the Buk complex, which was six kilometers from the city of Snezhnoye.
This territory on July 17, 2014, on the day of the death of the liner, was under the control of the militants of the DPR. Investigators claim that they managed to install a zone with an area of 500 by 600 meters, from where the launch was made. The Russian version about the launch of the Buk air defense system from the Zarashchensky district, which was controlled by Ukrainian government forces, is insolvent, the authors of the report said.
In addition, investigators found that the Buk complex was delivered to Ukraine from Russia. After the liner was shot down, the car was returned to Russia.
The chief prosecutor of the Netherlands Fred Westerbeke said that more than 100 people can be involved in the death of the Boeing-777. The investigation period has been extended until 2018.
