俄罗斯支持进一步调查马航MH17

 　　The Russian government, in response to the report, has issued a statement saying it is willing to work with Dutch investigators¹ to help it resolve the situation.

　　The Russian side also says it's still studying the findings of the report.

　　However, beyond this, there is still a deep divide when it comes to responsibility.

　　The report itself does not state who is to blame for firing the deadly missile.

　　Russia has maintained it was the Ukrainian side which launched the missile.

　　Yan Novikov, CEO of Almaz-Antey, the company which makes the missile sited in the report, says the weapon used was an older Soviet² model no longer used by the Russian military.

　　"The results of the experiment have entirely³ refuted the conclusions by the Dutch commission about the type of the rocket and the place of the launch. Today we can say definitely, that in case Boeing-777 of Malaysian Airlines had been hit by a BUK missile complex, that would mean that it had been hit by a 9M38 missile launched from the Ukrainian-controlled territory according to rebel group."

　　However, Ukrainian government supporters say the missile was likely launched by rebel forces who were engaged in heavy battles with Ukrainian government troops at the time.

　　The day of the crash, a rebel leader posted on Twitter, boasting about taking down a Ukrainian cargo⁴ plane.

　　That post was deleted shortly after word came down that a passenger jet had been shot down.

　　Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk is pointing the finger directly at Russia itself.

　　"I personally have no doubts that it was an operation which was planned by Russian special services on the downing of Malaysian Airlines civil plane, flight MH17."

　　The Dutch crash report says a Russian-developed BUK missile detonated less than a yard away from the cockpit, killing⁵ all three crew members instantly.

　　This then caused the plane to break up, leaving the remaining 295 people on-board to a harrowing 90-second plunge⁶ to their eventual⁷ death.

　　A separate criminal investigation⁸ is underway by Dutch authorities to determine who is ultimately responsible.

　　Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte is calling on Russia for "complete cooperation."

　　"What we will do now is to call on the Russian authorities to respect the report but also to fully⁹ cooperate in the Dutch prosecutor's investigation in cooperation with other countries."

　　In July, Russia vetoed a United Nations Security Council resolution that would have established an international criminal tribunal to investigate the MH17 attack.
