My point is that in addition to the money there are other considerations.
Such as maintaining ways to pressure Russia via the courts and getting control over the runaway influence Ukraine&co hold over that institution.

Agreed, this thread is supposed to be about Malaysian Airlines MH317.

I am not sure if there are Russians other than me on this forum. So it would be populated by misinformed foreighners.

I believe you are incorrect but can't say for sure what the actual number is so might I suggest you or someone else create a thread for the purpose of carrying the above discussion onward.

That is the whole idea of political threads.. and you will then have to sort out those.. misinformations. Why not turn the tables. I did not have much knowledge about British or US politics (nor do i now ahem), but we all chime in to ask, claim and discuss, it is a good thing to learn more about other countries; much better than reading tabloid media or Facebook anyway.

In case anyone missed it, one of the key suspects in the shoot down has been released by Ukraine over the objection of the Netherlands and handed back to Russia as part of the prisoner swap.

Today marks the 10th anniversary of passenger flight MH17 getting shot down in Ukraine. The Netherlands will commemorate the disaster and the 298 people killed in various ways. The official commemoration will be held at the National MH17 monument in Vijfhuizen Park near Schiphol. Flags are hanging at half-mast in many municipalities. The national commemoration in Vijfhuizen will start at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday. About 1,500 people will attend, including the loved ones of the victims, King Willem-Alexander, various Dutch Cabinet members like Prime Minister Dick Schoof, and representatives from Malaysia, Australia, the United Kingdom, Belgium and Ukraine. The names of all 298 victims will be read, followed by two minutes of silence.
Earlier this year, the Court of Audit reported that the Netherlands had, thus far, spent 166 million euros on the aftermath of the MH17 disaster. This includes expenditure on crisis management, repatriation of the victims, the investigation into the perpetrators, and bringing them to justice, among many other things. Quote:
