Die Zeit: in the MH17 disaster is the fault of the blindness of Europe and the greed of Kiev

To the tragedy of MH17 has led uncoordinated actions of a number of services responsible for the lack of the dangers of flying, writes the German magazine.

The Dutch security Council this week published its final report on the collapse of MH17. The authors of the article analyze the report and come To the conclusion that the most important thing in a disaster is to blame the Ukrainian structures, until recently, claimed that the airspace over the East of the country is safe To fly at an altitude of over 10,000 meters." Vsplyvaet question: were these services able to make an adequate decision? Hardly. For the state in a military conflict, the security of civilian traffic, most likely is not a priority ", - explained the situation the authors of the article. In addition, the relatives of the victims believe that Ukraine is deliberately left open To the sky to continue to charge for the use of its airspace.

While the report shows that, even If the country is in a state of conflict does not close its airspace, it is not considered safe For flying. The major airlines haven't changed flight paths, despite the possible danger, not to increase their costs. In addition, risks were required to assess and countries, where are based the airline carriers, in this case Malaysia, which, According to the authors, apparently, not sufficient For decision information. But European employees of the foreign Ministry, politicians and intelligence services are owned by situation, highlight the correspondents and conclude that tragic event played out largely due to the fact that European governments were "blind in one eye" and did nothing To change the trajectory of the airlines.

Boeing 777 organization Malaysia Airlines flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur flight MH17, crashed on July 17 of last year in Donetsk region. Lost his life 298 persons.

the security Council of the Netherlands on 13 October showed its own report on the causes of the disaster Malaysian Boeing in Ukraine. According to the findings of the investigation, which lasted fifteen months, the missile could be fired from the territory " area of 320 square kilometers in the East of Ukraine ". So, in the report there is no answer to the question, under whose control was the territory from which fired on the airliner. On the same day their own conclusions about the causes of the disaster were published by the Russian manufacturer SAM " Buk "concern" Almaz-Antey ". The opinions of experts from Russia and the Netherlands have coincided in that the missile exploded on the left side of the aircraft. However, in "Diamond-antee" is considered proof that she was released from under control to the Ukrainian power structures of the territory. If fired from a region controlled by militias, the aircraft would have received a fracture on the right side, highlight the concern. For its part in the Netherlands claim that To establish the perpetrators of the tragedy will need a forensic trial that is not within the competence of that state SAT.
