澳洲新闻 (ABC新闻快递) 4人因涉嫌击落马航MH17被起诉 特朗普斥伊朗击落美军无人机是"巨大错误"

Dutch prosecutors¹ have laid murder charges against four men for shooting down Malaysia airlines MH-17 over Ukraine. All 298 people on board including 38 Australians, were killed in the tragedy five years ago. The charges — against three Russians and one Ukrainian separatist — have been announced overnight in the Netherlands. International arrest warrants have been issued, but Russia has already dismissed the charges as 'absolutely unfounded'.
