Investigators Say Moscow Contacted Rebels Charged With The Downing Of MH17



ABC News Online: MH17 investigators say newly released phone call intercepts reveal Russian political ties to Ukraine rebels

Investigators have released a series of phone intercepts they said reveal Moscow's influence over pro-Russian rebels accused of downing Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 over eastern Ukraine five years ago.

MH17 was shot down on July 17, 2014, over territory held by pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine as it flew from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur.

All 298 passengers and crew, including 38 Australians, died.

The joint investigation team (JIT) said a missile that hit the passenger jet originated from Russia's Kursk military base, not far from the Ukrainian border.

In June, the JIT charged three Russians and a Ukrainian with 298 murders.
