Russia sees the findings of an investigation into the 2014 Malaysia Airlines MH17 crash as biased and does not accept them, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in a briefing.

According to the Dutch cabinet, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Council has ruled that Russia was responsible for downing the civilian aircraft and violating the 1944 Convention on International Civil Aviation.

"I am not going to comment on this. Our position is well known. Russia was not among the parties that took part in investigating the accident. This is why we don’t accept any of the prejudiced conclusions," the Russian presidential spokesman noted.

In June 2024, Russia stopped participating in a dispute with Australia and the Netherlands over the MH17 crash case, which was being considered by the ICAO Council. The Russian Foreign Ministry emphasized that Moscow did not recognize the council's authority to consider "groundless accusations by Australia and the Netherlands, or any decisions it would make in relation to them."
