KYIV. June 19 (Interfax) - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is hoping that all those responsible for the crash of the Malaysian Airlines' Boeing in Ukraine in 2014 will be held accountable.
"Ukraine is welcoming the findings of the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) on MH17. President of Ukraine is hoping that not only those whom the SBU [Security Service of Ukraine] declared suspects today but all those guilty of the daring murder of innocent children, women and men will be brought before the international tribunal," Zelensky said in a statement published by the Ukrainian president's executive office on Twitter.
On Wednesday, the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) named four suspects behind the MH17 tragedy. They are Russian citizens Igor Girkin (Strelkov), Sergei Dubinsky and Oleg Pulatov and Ukrainian citizen Leonid Kharchenko.
Malaysian Airlines' Flight MH17 en route from Amsterdam, Netherlands to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia was downed in the Donetsk region on July 17, 2014. All 298 people aboard were killed.
