Bodnar noted Kyiv’s commitment to make every effort for a fair investigation into the downing of Flight MH17 and bring to justice those responsible for this crime.

The parties also discussed the prospects for cooperation in trade and economy, given the leading role of the Netherlands as one of the largest investors in the Ukrainian economy.
