The Dutch court produced a politicized ruling in the case of the MH17 flight disaster over Ukraine in July 2014, because no hard evidence was presented to the judges, the chairman of the State Duma’s committee on international affairs, Leonid Slutsky, said on Thursday.
"The decision is politicized, of course, and it is impossible to agree with it. Russian specialists have never been allowed to participate in the JIT (Joint Investigation Group - TASS) activities, and Almaz-Antey's calculations were simply ignored. No significant evidence was presented," he said.
Slutsky stressed that "double standards and a one-sided approach were seen especially clearly against the backdrop of the incident involving the fall of missiles on the territory of Poland." Slutsky noted that in this case Ukrainian specialists would be allowed to the scene of the incident, while the blame for the missiles of the Ukrainian air defense system S-300 that fell on Polish territory would be placed on Russia.

- Russia's foreign ministry said the court had been under unprecedented pressure from Dutch politicians, prosecutors and the media to impose a politically motivated outcome.
“The trial in the Netherlands has every chance of becoming one of the most scandalous in the history of legal proceedings,” it said in a statement. Moscow has repeatedly denied responsibility for the downing of the jet.
Separately, a top Russian politician told Tass news agency that Moscow would not be extraditing Girkin and Dubinskiy.
