Reports of a court verdict on Boeing MH17 turned out to be exaggerated
Yesterday, the media somewhat exaggerated the significance of the court decision, spreading the news about the verdict rendered in The Hague in the case of the crash of Boeing flight MH17 in the Donbass in July 2014.
Journalist Natalia Oss drew attention to the fact that the life sentence of former militia commander Igor Strelkov was handed down not by the International Criminal Court in The Hague, which she called the “court of the Ukrainian dream,” but by an ordinary local court.
“Judged one of the eleven district courts with jurisdiction over South Holland. That is, just a local court. Basmanny. But the territorial coverage is wider, for example, in Moscow and the Moscow region. The news sells us “Ukrainian victory” and “our zrada.” Why don’t we ourselves sentence the Ukrainian air traffic controller who pulled the plane into the combat zone on the orders of the organizers of the provocation?” – Oss wrote in her TG channel.
One way or another, Strelkov himself commented on the court’s decision, citing Tsar Ivan the Terrible.
“And if you, having taken a dog’s mouth, want to bark for fun, then that’s your servile custom: it’s an honor for you, but for us to communicate with you is dishonor, and barking to write to you is even worse, and barking with you is worse than that.” happens in this world, but if you want to bark, then find yourself the same slave as you are a slave, and bark with him,” Strelkov wrote.
Russian Senator Andrei Klishas believes that Russia is not threatened by the decision of the Hague court, since it has not been identified as the guilty party. In addition, he emphasized that the Russian Federation does not extradite its citizens under any circumstances.
“The Europeans needed this trial in order to shield Ukraine itself, to hide the root causes of what is happening in the Donbass, the true reasons for the tragedy that happened to a civilian airliner due to the fault of the Ukrainian authorities, and to make Russian citizens look guilty,” Klishas said on Sputnik radio. .
However, he believes that the court's verdict should be appealed.
“It always makes sense to go through all legal procedures to the final stage. For everyone who is trying to hide and silence some circumstances, the most comfortable situation is when they say: all this is nonsense. It all makes sense. Because every trial means media attention, and the emphasis on inconsistencies can be turned in favor of those people who were considered guilty and try to point out the true culprits of the tragedy that occurred. This is the government of Ukraine, which allowed a civilian passenger ship to fly over the territory where there is a civil war. It was unleashed by those who staged a coup in Kyiv. These are the true culprits of the tragedy,” Klishas said.
