Russian President Vladimir Putin Implicated in MH17 Crash: Joint Investigation Team Finds “Strong Indications” of Involvement

An international team of investigators have released a statement claiming that there are "strong indications" that Russian President Vladimir Putin approved the supply of heavy anti-aircraft weapons to Ukrainian separatists who shot down Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 in 2014. The Joint Investigation Team noted that although there are strong indications that Putin was involved in the decision, the "high bar of full and conclusive evidence is not met." The team is composed of representatives from the Netherlands, Australia, Belgium, Malaysia, and Ukraine and is expected to release its final report in the coming months.
