Reps Kaptur, Fitzpatrick, and Levin Welcome New Developments on Investigation of Flight MH17

Statement

Rep. Marcy Kaptur (OH-09), Mike Fitzpatrick (PA-08), and Sandy Levin (MI-09), today released the following statement on the new developments of the investigation into flight MH17, which broke up while in the air over Ukraine last year:

"We applaud investigators for their hard work. The report appears to conclude what we all suspected -- that flight MH17 was shot down by a missile launched by Russian separatists in Ukraine. The findings make Russia's denial even less credible especially as troops and weapons continue to build up at the border. We look forward to the release of the full report later this year so we can better understand the circumstances that caused 298 innocent civilians to lose their lives."
