Andrii Sybiha, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine: 

“I welcome the important ICAO Council conclusion reaffirming Russia’s responsibility for the downing of F light #MH17.

This is one more step toward restoring justice for this crime. And a clear message: no matter how much money and effort Russia put into lying to conceal its crimes, the truth wins out, and justice prevails. 

I congratulate my colleagues - Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Caspar Veldkamp, and Minister for Foreign Affairs of Australia, Penny Wong, on this shared victory, which means so much to the families of the victims of the MH17 tragedy. ”
