The Head of State wrote this on his Facebook page.

"Today, the Government of the Netherlands has announced a decision that the criminal proceedings into downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 will be carried out within the national jurisdiction of the Netherlands. The mechanism for bringing perpetrators to justice was elaborated by the member states of the joint investigation team – Australia, Malaysia, Belgium, the Netherlands and Ukraine. Ukraine will help the Netherlands by all means to speed up bringing those responsible to justice," the President noted.
