A fragment of the downed Malaysian Boeing was displayed on Avito

A fragment of the Malaysian Boeing that was shot down near Donetsk in 2014 on flight MH17 was put up for sale on the Russian Internet service for the declared Avito. Part of the plane is called a “souvenir from Amsterdam” in the ad. This is reported by “Sota”.

In a conversation with journalists, the seller said that he found a fragment of the “Boeing” in the garden of his grandmother in the village of Grabovo. A plane was shot down over this settlement. The interlocutor also claims that he worked in the OSCE mission that collected debris.

Malaysian plane “Boeing-777”, flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur on flight MH17, crashed on July 17, 2014 near Donetsk. All 298 people on board died. Kyiv blamed separatists for the disaster, but they said they did not have the means to shoot down an aircraft at such a height. An international investigative group led by the Attorney General’s Office of the Netherlands conducted an investigation into the circumstances of the crash and came to the conclusion that the Boeing was shot down from the Buk anti-aircraft missile complex belonging to the Russian Armed Forces and supplied from Russia. Earlier, the Bellingcat group came to the same conclusion.

In November 2022, the court in The Hague sentenced three of the four defendants in absentia in the case of the crash of the Malaysian Boeing MH-17. Russians Ihor Strelkov (Gyrkin) and Sergei Dubinsky, as well as Ukrainian Leonid Kharchenko were sentenced to life imprisonment. They were found guilty of the crash of a civilian plane and the murder of 298 people. One more accused – Oleg Pulatov – was found not guilty by the court.

Russia categorically denies involvement in the Boeing disaster. Moscow also accuses the court of bias. At the same time, the Russian authorities do not have an unequivocal version of who shot down the Boeing – they put forward several versions that were rejected by the investigation.
