THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP): The families of people killed when a missile shot down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 over eastern Ukraine in 2014 set out 298 white chairs outside the Russian Embassy on Sunday (March 8) in a silent protest against Moscow’s lack of cooperation in the investigation into the downing of the passenger jet.
The chairs - laid out in rows like seats in an airplane - represented the victims who died when a Buk missile fired from territory held by pro-Russia separatist rebels shot down the Amsterdam-to-Kuala Lumpur flight on July 17,2014, killing everybody on board.
