A global group of prosecutors exploring the bringing down of flight MH17 over eastern Ukraine in 2014 will discharge its discoveries on Wednesday.
Every one of the 298 individuals on board the Boeing 777 died when it separated up midair flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur.
A prior request by the Dutch Safety Board reasoned that a Russian-made Buk rocket hit the plane.
Presently a Dutch-led crime group will pinpoint where the rocket was fired, yet will not name suspects.
Prosecutors from Australia, Belgium, Malaysia and Ukraine are likewise part of the Joint Investigation Team (JIT).
Who was at fault?
Pro-Russian rebels have been faulted by Ukraine and the West to shoot down the plane on 17 July 2014.
Ukrainian government forces were involved in overwhelming fighting with pro-Russian separatists at the time.
The Safety Board (DSB) report said in October 2015 that the rocket was fired from a 320 sq km zone south-east of where the plane crashed and the head of the DSB said the area was under rebel control.
Russia itself has denied any contribution, including affirmations that the Buk rocket launcher had originated from Russian domain. Yet, after the assault, the European Union and US extended sanctions on Russia that had been presented after the Ukraine conflict started.
Not long ago, Russia delivered radar pictures which, it argued, demonstrated that the plane couldn't have originated from rebel-held regions. Commentators have pointed out that Russian authorities have given versions of events since the plane was shot down.
