Samantha Power at UN Security Council: "Russia can end this war. Russia must end this war."
U.N. Security Council calls for probe of Malaysia jet destruction
Technical assistance from Russian personnel in the downing of a Malaysian jet “cannot be ruled out,” the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations said Friday as the Security Council began an emergency session in response to the destruction of the passenger plane over eastern Ukraine.
Ukraine said it would present evidence of what it alleges is Russian involvement in the crash of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17. All 298 people aboard were believed to have died when the jet fell from the sky in separatist-held territory near Donetsk on Thursday.
Security Council members released a statement calling for a “full, thorough and independent investigation” into the incident. Before the session opened, Mark Lyall Grant, Britain’s U.N. representative, said the International Civil Aviation Organization “clearly must be involved.”
Early speakers at the emergency council session made clear that the pressure was on Russia to withdraw support for separatist forces in Ukraine and take the lead in ending the conflict that has taken more than 500 lives there.
