The men 'who shot down MH17': Investigators charge three Russians and a Ukrainian with MURDER after accusing them of shooting down passenger jet, killing all 298 on board
Four men who international investigators believe are responsible for shooting down MH17 have been named and charged with murder.
The men are Russians Igor Girkin, Sergey Dubinsky and Oleg Pulatov, and Ukrainian Leonid Kharchenko, all of whom were fighting for Moscow-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine when the jet was hit by a missile over the territory in 2014.
Girkin was a former colonel in Russia's FSB intelligence agency who was the self-declared minister of defence in the separatist administration in eastern Ukraine, prosecutors said.
Dubinskiy was a former minister from the Russian military intelligence agency GRU, Pulatov was an ex-soldier in Russia's Spetznaz special forces unit and Kharchenko a Ukrainian separatist.
... the BUK missile used in the attack was moved from Ukraine back to Russia with Girkin's help after MH17 was shot down.
Ms Fredriksz, whose son Bryce and his girlfriend Daisy Oehlers were among the dead, told of her relief that five years after the plane was blown out of the sky, someone was being held accountable.
'It's a start. I'm satisfied,' she said. 'I am happy that the trial is finally going to start and that the names have been announced.'
Asked if she personally blamed anyone for the crash, Fredriksz said: 'Mr Putin. Because he made this possible. He created this situation.' [link to www.dailymail.co.uk (secure)]
