“We are united in our support of Australia and the Netherlands as they call on Russia to account for its role in this incident and to cooperate fully with the process to establish the truth and achieve justice for the victims of MH17 and their next of kin,” the joint statement by G7 ministers said, ahead of the anniversary of the air disaster on July 17, the Guardian reported.
The joint call was released on Sunday, the same day Putin was scheduled to meet with French President Emmanuel Macron. France, along with U.S., Britain, Germany, Japan, Italy and Canada, form the G7.
Back in May, an international team of investigators confirmed in a press conference in Utrecht, Netherlands, that the Buk missile — used to blow the plane out of the sky, killing all 298 passengers and crew members onboard — originated from the Russian military’s 53rd anti-aircraft missile brigade based in the Russian city of Kursk.
