Strelkov denies Donbas militia responsible for downing MH17

MOSCOW. June 19 (Interfax) - Former leader of the Donbas militia Igor Strelkov (Girkin) has declined to comment on the charge the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) has brought against him in the downing of the Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 (MH17) over the Donetsk region in 2014.

"I'm not giving any comments. I can only say that the militia didn't shoot the Boeing down," Strelkov told Interfax on Wednesday.
