Moscow: Russia said on Tuesday that it was ready to offer full cooperation with an international investigation into the downing of the Malaysian passenger jet after backing the UN Security Council resolution on the probe.
"Russia is ready to give such an investigation comprehensive help including providing the necessary specialists," the Russian foreign ministry said in a statement.
The UN Security Council on Monday unanimously condemned the downing of the airliner and demanded full access to the site and for all countries to cooperate with the probe.
Russia said that it backed the International Civil Aviation Organisation playing an "active role" after insisting on changes to wording of the resolution to clarify that Ukraine would not take the lead role in the probe.
