The five countries – Malaysia, Australia, the Netherlands, Belgium and Ukraine – two months later take a second attempt to push through the UN Security Council to create an international tribunal for the collapse of Boeing in the Donbass. In an interview with Associated Press, he said the Foreign Minister of Ukraine Pavlo Klimkin.

The Minister stressed that the main argument in favor of the Russian rejection of the relevant resolution, was the fact that the establishment of the tribunal is premature because the investigation of the crash is not yet completed . In this regard, the five countries involved in the investigation, try to re-pass a resolution on the establishment of the tribunal by the UN Security Council after the investigation is completed.

«We are not going to give up. In two months we will have a final report [of the crash], and that Russia will say then? “- Klimkin said. “We definitely try again, using all possible means of support of the international community”, – he added.

Klimkin said that Malaysia, Australia, the Netherlands, Belgium and Ukraine believe that the creation of an international tribunal on the Boeing «best option from the political point of view, and with the legislative ».

He added that there are other legal options for punishing perpetrators in a plane crash, including the so-called hybrid tribunal. Its creation involves an agreement between the participating States and approved by the United Nations and the Security Council, as well as state courts. “We will consider any such opportunities in the future”, – he said.

On Wednesday, the UN Security Council has not passed a resolution to establish an international tribunal to investigate the crash Boeing MH17 near Donetsk. Russia used its veto, the resolution was voted by 11 delegations, three countries abstained – this is China, Angola and Venezuela.

The main objective of the draft resolution, prepared by Malaysia, is the punishment of those responsible for the destruction in the Donetsk region the Boeing 777 . “The creation of an international tribunal would be an effective guarantee of an independent and impartial process to establish responsibility,” – said in the text of the resolution.

Russia initially opposed the creation of the tribunal. Moscow has made to its draft UN resolution on Boeing. It said the doubts about the objectivity of the investigation of the crash “due to problems with transparency in its organization and working methods which could adversely affect” on its outcome.
