LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's foreign minister Boris Johnson said Russia must answer for its actions after a report into the shooting down of a civilian flight over eastern Ukraine in 2014 said the missile involved belonged to a unit of the Russian army.

Earlier, the Dutch cabinet said it would hold the Russian state responsible for "its role" in the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight 17 in July 2014.
