Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte also says he wants to wait for the results of the investigation first before making further statements.
Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad had called the move by Dutch-led investigators to charge three Russians and a Ukrainian with murder for the 2014 disaster “ridiculous” and “politically motivated” against Moscow. Rutte said the Dutch foreign ministry would contact the Malaysian government about Mahathir’s comments, adding that he wanted “to await the results of this first before making further statements”.
The team announced on Wednesday that a trial of the four suspects, with links to Ukrainian separatists, would start in March 2020.
