Separatists did not ask any favours in return, says DPM

KUALA LUMPUR: No favours were given to the pro-Russian separatists when a deal was brokered between them and Malaysia to hand over the black boxes and remains of Flight MH17 victims, says Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

He said this in response to questions raised by several Opposition MPs who asked if the separatists had demanded anything in return.
