KYIV. Sept 5 (Interfax) - The international commission on the investigation of the Malaysian MN-17 Boeing crash in July, 2014, is planning to present a report on the type and launch site of the missile, which downed the plane, on September 28, Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Hennadiy Zubko said.
"First and foremost, the report will not be published, but [the information] will be provided to the relatives, those who should receive the information on the launch site and type of weapon in the first place," he told Interfax on Monday.
He said that the report will be presented to the relatives of the plane crash victims on September 28 and published afterwards.
The report in question being published is not a final one, he said.
The investigative team on identifying and indicting those behind the Malaysia Airlines Boeing crash, which is comprised of the representatives of the Netherlands, Australia, Malaysia, Belgium and Ukraine, will publish the initial results of criminal inquiry this fall, the Dutch Prosecutor's Office said in June 2016. Following the international investigative group's inquiry, updated information will be published detailing the weapon used to down the plane, as well as the site from which the missile was launched.
It was reported in August that the Dutch Prosecutor's Office will publish the initial results of a criminal inquiry into the case of the Malaysian Boeing crash on September 28.
The Malaysia Airlines Boeing-777, en route from Amsterdam in the Netherlands to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, was downed midair over the Donetsk region on July 17, 2014, killing all 298 people onboard.
On October 13, 2015, the Dutch Safety Board's commission, which investigated the cause of the Boeing crash, published a report saying that the plane had been downed by a surface-to-air missile fired from a Buk air defense missile system.
