Kiev says MH17 black boxes tested impact of a missile

The Government of Ukraine has informed on Monday that the black boxes MH17 – Malaysian aircraft shot down on July 17 with 298 people on board, show that the device fell because of a “massive explosion decompression “, which would confirm the Boeing 777 was shot down by a missile while crossing a region of eastern Ukraine controlled by the rebels who do not recognize the authority of Kiev.

Andrei Lysenko, spokesman for the National Security and Defence Council of Ukraine, attributed the finding to ” the commission of experts to study the causes of the catastrophe of the Boeing 777.” However, Sara Vernooij, spokesman of the Dutch committee leading the investigation, said she did not know where this information comes out, as the group of experts, working with black boxes in a UK laboratory – any result still not made public. “We prefer to wait until there is a more complete picture of what happened before posting bits of information,” Vernooij said France Presse.

Ukraine and the Netherlands agreed on Monday, although Russian reticence, the deployment of an international police mission to ensure the safety of investigators. ” The mission will be composed of experts and representatives of the police in the Netherlands, Australia and other countries whose citizens were in the Boeing 777,” said the statement from the Ukrainian government. The objective of the mission is “to ensure the collection of debris and conducting an investigation at the scene of the disaster on 17 July.”

Both Kiev and Washington blame the pro-Russian separatists have fired the missile that destroyed the Malaysian aircraft, although they deny it and say do not have systems capable of reaching 10,000 meters to flying the Boeing. U.S. and Ukraine meet the separatists had obtained at least one shuttle Buk missiles from Russia, with which it would have downed the aircraft.

Russia also denies any involvement in the tragedy and as reiterated his Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov urges Washington to publish the satellite photos showing that it supplied weapons to the rebels. The photos and videos released so far by Ukraine as evidence were obtained from social networks and do not correspond to what we want to prove. For example, the video runs a shuttle missiles Buk was recorded in a city controlled by government forces and not by the separatists, as deduced from the address listed in an advertisement against passing the missile system.

The propaganda war around testing attack aircraft is still fierce. The spokesman for the Russian Defense Ministry, General Igor Konashenkov says that satellite photos posted on Twitter by the U.S. ambassador in Kiev, Geoffrey R. Pyatt, who demonstrate that from the territory of Russia shoots against Ukraine, are false. “It is impossible to ascertain its authenticity when no topographic reference and image quality is very low. Not to mention using them as evidence, ” Konashenkov insisted, before adding that Kiev has used similar images ” to justify the use of reactive artillery and other heavy weapons against their own civilian population. “
