MH17 Indictments



The United States has welcomed the indictment of four individuals for their alleged roles in the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 over eastern Ukraine in 2014, calling it an "important milestone in the search for the truth."

In a statement late on June 19, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called on Russia to "respect and adhere" to UN demands "and ensure that any indicted individuals currently in Russia face justice."

"All of those indicted today were members of Russia-led forces in eastern Ukraine," he said, while citing the UN resolution calling on those responsible to "be held to account and that all States cooperate fully with efforts to establish accountability."

The secretive factory had several components, including a "Russian desk," a "foreign desk," a "Facebook desk," and a "Department of Provocations," according to the former troll, who went by the name "Maxim."
