Almost 300 people were killed when the Malaysian Airlines flight was shot down over Ukraine in 2014. The UN aviation council has ruled that Russian-backed separatists were to blame.
The United Nations’ aviation council on Monday, ruled that Russia was responsible for downing of the Malaysian Airlines flight over Ukraine, which killed all of the nearly 300 people on board in 2014.
This number included 196 Dutch citizens and 28 Australian citizens, their governments said in separate statements.
The case was launched in 2022 by Australia and the Netherlands.
The Netherlands also shipped a large amount of anti-tank, air defence missiles as well as a hundred sniper rifles and 30.000 rounds of ammo to Ukraine. And that was just the start.
You need to walk a fine line in international politics as a country.
But here, just you and me talking: as a Dutchman I remember those victims. And I hope every single one of those 30.000 rounds finds a loving home in the brain of a Russian. Fuck the lot of ‘em. You invade a country, you deserve to get a Dutch-sponsored surprise lead injection.
I was not blaming your country at all, you’re more than doing your part. It’s just frustrating.
Thinking of the families of the victims, I hope that knowing they are not forgotten and people are trying to uncover the truth about what happened will at least provide some closure.
