http://www.news.com.au/travel/travel-updates/russia-claims-malaysian-airlines-flight-mh17-crash-investigation-stalled/story-fnizu68q-1227036669088RUSSIA has complained of a failure to release details of the investigation into the Malaysian jet that was shot down over the Ukraine in July, accusing international investigators of lack of transparency.
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov queried on Monday why the recordings from the planes black boxes had not been released publicly and said he had the impression that everyone else has lost interest in the investigation.
Dutch investigators leading the probe said early this month that they would release an initial report in a few weeks.
<edit>
No one has told us anything coherent about the reasons why the recordings of the black boxes cannot be released fully, Mr Lavrov said at a televised briefing in Moscow.
He also queried why Ukraine had not yet provided recordings of conversations between air traffic controllers in the nearby airport of Dnepropetrovsk.

(4,185 posts)If all the US and Britain have are those tweets and YouTube videos even Jen Psaki and Marie Harf looked uncomfortable trying to sell us as proof, then that means they've got nada, nothing. When you have nothing, better to to just sweep this one under the rug under the category state secrets or something.

That aircraft was brought down by the Ukrainian RW lunatics backed by the West. Truth will out.

Like all good conspiracy theories the goal posts will move whenever they need them to. The report will be "manufactured" and the truth hidden in some bunker in Kiev or Amsterdam.

The Russians have released satellite and other data they claim suggest the Ukrainians are responsible. The US, while vociferously attempting to blame the separatists and the Russians, seems to have misplaced its relevants satellite data. The Ukraine seems to have misplaced communication recordings of what transpired between air controllers and the pilots of MH 17. The Dutch have said their investigation isn't intended to determine who actually is responsible. We do have some tweets and YouTube video, though, so maybe that's your debunking material?
I don't have a clue what happened. I do know that when parties talk big and then decide not to release evidence and when respected journalists raise significant questions about that big talk, one should be a little skeptical about initial reports. And maybe we'll know who's right when the report comes out, but it will depend on the report, won't it?
