But the report will not say who was to blame.<br \/>\nMoscow is to issue its own report.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The plane &#8211; flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur &#8211; crashed in rebel-held eastern Ukraine on 17 July 2014 at the height of the conflict between government troops and the pro-Russian separatists.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There were 193 Dutch nationals among the victims.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Four questions<br \/>\nThe Dutch Safety Board is expected to present its findings first to the victims&#8217; families and relatives and then to reporters at the Gilze-Rijen military base.<br \/>\nThe board will also show parts of the aircraft that have been brought back from the rebel-held Donetsk region and reconstructed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The report will look at four key issues:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">what caused the plane to disintegrate in mid-air<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">why it was flying over the conflict region<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">why did some relatives have to wait four days before receiving official confirmation that their loved ones were on board<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">To what extent were the passengers and crew aware of what was happening in the final moments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, the report will not directly address the issue of who was responsible for the disaster.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is because the board does not have the authority to apportion blame under the rules governing international flight crash investigations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A separate Dutch-led criminal investigation is still going on, and its findings are expected to be published in several months&#8217; time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Prosecutors have suggested that the aircraft was most likely brought down by a Buk surface-to-air missile. In August, they said they were investigating fragments &#8220;possibly originating from a Buk&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The government in Ukraine and several Western officials have said the missile was brought from Russia and launched from the rebel-held part of Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Russia denies the accusations, saying the plane was shot down by either a surface-to-air missile fired by Ukrainian forces or a Ukrainian fighter jet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The government in Kiev rejects these claims as groundless.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In July, Russia vetoed a draft resolution at the UN Security Council to set up an international tribunal into the MH17 air disaster.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">President Vladimir Putin said at the time the establishment of such a tribunal would be &#8220;premature&#8221; and &#8220;counter-productive&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Before the Dutch report is released on Tuesday, Russia&#8217;s state arms producer Almaz-Antey &#8211; which makes Buk missiles &#8211; is expected to announce the results of its own investigation into the crash.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Senior Russian government officials have said the Dutch investigators have not been co-operating with Russian experts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;A series of facts (about the shooting down) that were presented by Russia seem have not been taken into consideration &#8211; for reasons that we do not understand,&#8221; Dmitry Peskov, a spokesman for President Vladimir Putin, said on Monday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8211;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Source: BBC<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dutch Safety Board is to publish a final report on why Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17 broke up over Ukraine in 2014, killing all 298 on board.
