<p>The British Government continues to support the MH17 Joint Investigation Team whose
extensive investigations have enabled the Dutch Public Prosecutor to commence criminal
proceedings. We have made a financial contribution to the establishment of the Dutch
court that will conduct the trial, which starts in March. This will help ensure that
the families and friends of the victims receive answers, and that those responsible
are held to account for this appalling crime. The government joins the Netherlands
and Australia in calling on the Russian Federation to accept state responsibility,
and to cooperate with the court to deliver justice for the victims of this tragedy.</p>
