Time of downing is important: West closed eyes on Ukrainian bombing in June 2014, cities with Russians on the East of Ukraine were victims of it. Then Russia presumable send "Buk" or "Buks" to rebels of Donetsk and Lugansk for to protect civilians. And rebels shooted down almost all Ukrainian military aviation there. Probably MH17 was recognized as a military aircrafts and downed in July.
Ukrainian nationalistic govt and West are 100% responsible for that consequence, but tried to reload own fault to Russia.
===Earlier this year, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ruled that Russia must be held accountable for its role in the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17. Not only to the Netherlands but also to the relatives of the victims.===
Since European Council of Human Rights voted what Russia isn't its member anymore it also has consequence: ECHR has no jurisdiction in Russia anymore. Nobody cares about their decision here.
===On March 17, 2023, the United Nations aviation council voted to hear a case against Russia over the 2014 downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17, the foreign ministers of Australia and the Netherlands said. ICAO had earlier (March 3) stated that it had authority to hear the case brought by the Australians and the Dutch. The case concerns the paying of compensation for the downing===
Nor ICAO, nor UN aviation council have mandate to make decisions about finances. So their decisions cost less than piece of paper for to print it.
