Creation of a tribunal on the Boeing-777 crash that occurred in Ukraine in the summer of 2014 while the investigation is still ongoing contradicts any common sense, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova said on Thursday.

Boeing-777 of Malaysia Airlines was shot down over Ukraine on July 17, 2014 in flight from Amsterdam /the Netherlands/ to Kuala Lumpur /Malaysia/. All the 298 people onboard, most of whom were Dutch, died in the crash. The Dutch Safety Board that had investigated the tragedy concluded in the final report published on October 13 last year that the aircraft had been downed by a Buk anti-aircraft missile launched from an area of approximately 320 square kilometres in eastern Ukraine.

"Creation of any ‘Boeing’ tribunals while the investigation is still ongoing contradicts any common sense at least irrespective of a country, which is in question. Such an approach proves that someone has no desire to look into what happened," the Russian diplomat said.

"There has been an attempt to immediately accuse those who were initially selected to be guilty. Lawful and legitimate tribunals are established by the United Nations. All other tribunals are illegitimate," Zakharova said.

"Russia’s task is to shed the light on this tragedy; find any possible information and understand what happened," she added.
