PETALING JAYA: Russia's vetoing of a United Nations Security Council draft resolution seeking an international criminal tribunal for Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 will not deter Malaysia from seeking justice.

In a statement Thursday, Wisma Putra said they would consider and explore other viable options and prosecution mechanisms that would ensure that justice would be served and the perpetrators held accountable for their actions.
