Russia’s ambassador to the United Nations (UN) says Ukrainian authorities may be seeking to “destroy evidence” that would implicate their role in the crash of a Malaysia Airlines plane in Ukraine.
Speaking at the UN headquarters in New York on Wednesday, Vitaly Churkin said that Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko pledged a ceasefire in the disaster area, “but this promise was immediately broken, while Ukrainian officials have publicly announced a new task – to cleanse of the militias and take control of this territory.”
Churkin further expressing concerns over the ongoing military operation in east Ukraine.
The military operations directly violate UN Security Council resolution 2166, which calls for a ceasefire and for a thorough and impartial investigation into the Boeing tragedy, the Russian diplomat added.
“We fear that Kiev authorities are moved by the intention to destroy evidence, implicating their role in the Malaysian airliner catastrophe,” Churkin emphasized.
In order to ensure compliance with the ceasefire resolution and reinforce it, the Russian UN mission on Monday proposed that the UN release “a simple and unambiguous statement to the press.”
“However, [Russia’s proposal] was unceremoniously blocked by some members of the Security Council, clearly not interested in strict compliance with resolution 2166,” Churkin explained.
Reiterating the need to establish a ceasefire in Ukraine, Churkin reminded the UN Security Council that the Netherlands, Australia and Malaysia have mobilized “considerable resources” to investigate the crash.
