MOSCOW, September 17 (RIA Novosti) – The incident with a Malaysian passenger plane in eastern Ukraine has been used deliberately to push ahead with sanctions against Russia, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.
“The crash of the Malaysian plane is a terrible tragedy. It led not only to many human casualties, but also it was used for deliberate escalation of international tensions, applying pressure on countries to push forward with sectoral sanctions against Russia,” Lavrov said in an interview with El Pais newspaper published on Wednesday.
On July 17, a Malaysia Airlines flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur crashed in Ukraine’s eastern region of Donetsk. None of the 298 people on board survived the crash.
