MOSCOW (Sputnik) — A draft final report on the results of the investigation into MH17 flight crash in eastern Ukraine in 2014 will be ready by the end of June, the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf said Saturday, citing a source in the Dutch Safety Board (DSB).

The final report is expected to be published in October at latest, the DSB spokesperson added.
On July 17, 2014, Malaysia Airlines aircraft Boeing 777 en route from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur crashed in Ukraine’s eastern region of Donetsk, killing all 298 people on board, including 196 Dutch citizens.
The DSB, the leading investigator of the accident, said in a a preliminary report issued in September that the plane was hit by numerous high-energy objects.
Kiev accuses independence supporters in eastern Ukraine of shooting the plane down. Militia reject the accusations, saying they did not have weapons capable of shooting down a plane flying at 32,000 feet.
