International community continues to expose Russia’s lies about the MH17 crash
russia continues to lie about the MH17 disaster — even more than 10 years after the tragedy and despite the growing amount of evidence pointing to its responsibility. The Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) of the United Nations has recognized that russia is responsible for shooting down flight MH17 over Donetsk on July 17, 2014. But in response — once again, a wave of manipulation and lies from russian propaganda.
▫️russian ministry of foreign affairs accuses ICAO of “bias” and complains about the alleged “convincing evidence” of russia’s innocence being ignored. At the same time, the ministry once again tries to shift the responsibility for the deaths of 298 people onto Ukraine, manipulating the claim about the “unclosed airspace.”
russian propaganda continues to deny the obvious and attempts to discredit international mechanisms for establishing the truth. However, ICAO’s decision is another step towards justice. This is yet another signal to russia that lies, even when long-standing and massive, cannot stop the truth.
