The Donetsk People's Republic dismissed the Dutch-led Joint Investigation Team's conclusions which stated that the MH17 was downed from independence supporters-controlled area.

DONETSK (Sputnik) – The Dutch-led Joint Investigation Team is wrong in its conclusions about the alleged launch of a missile that downed Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 from militias-controlled territory in eastern Ukraine, the deputy defense minister of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic's (DPR), Eduard Basurin, said on Wednesday.

"I believe that it [investigation] is brought to a deadlock on purpose. For the second time the team makes its conclusions, for the second time the conclusions are wrong," Basurin told journalists adding that neither the United State nor Ukraine provided radar or satellite data used as a basis for accusations against Donbass independence supporters.
