Workers began removing the wreckage of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 from rebel-held territory in eastern Ukraine, four months after it was shot down killing 298 passengers and crew.

The UN's aviation council has held Russia responsible for the 2014 downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 over Ukraine, which killed all 298 on board, including many Dutch and Australian citizens. The ICAO stated Russia violated international air law, a claim Russia rejects as biased. The Netherlands and Australia seek reparations, while Russia denies involvement.

The European Court of Human Rights held Russia accountable for the MH17 tragedy and rights abuses in Ukraine. The court addressed cases filed by Ukraine and Netherlands related to Moscow's actions since 2014. Despite Russia's expulsion from the Council of Europe, the court asserted its jurisdiction. Volodymyr Zelenskyy has approved plans for a new international court.

Dutch cyclist Maarten de Jonge escaped death twice after he made last minute changes to his flight tickets for the illfated MH370 and MH17 of Malaysia Airlines, media reports said on Sunday.

The flight has been rescheduled to depart Kuala Lumpur on Sunday.

Believers in destiny might say this proves that, 370 or 17, one goes only when one's number is up. Even cynics would concede that it's a remarkable coincidence.

The govt’s claim that there was no Air India flight near the ill-fated Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 when it was shot down over Ukraine appears misleading.
