Upon seeing the film, the Dutch Safety Board reached out to the network and appealed to RT for help in retrieving parts of the plane's cockpit.

"With great interest we watched your documentary 'MH17: a year without the truth'.  In this film RT shows parts of the cockpit roof, which were found near Petropavlivka. We would like to gather those pieces [and] bring them over to the Netherlands so the Dutch Safety Board can use them for the investigation and the reconstruction," wrote DSB's spokeswoman Sara Vernooij.
