MH17 investigators to name suspects

Investigators probing the downing of a Malaysia airlines jet in eastern Ukraine in which 298 people died in 2014 are expected to name suspects.

The dutch-led joint investigation team will present new evidence and announce charges for the first time.

Passenger flight MH17 was en route from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur when it was shot down over conflict-hit Ukraine.

Investigators blame Russian-backed separatists who they say targeted the plane with a Russian-made missile.

Russia has denied any involvement and has maintained the missile was fired from Ukrainian-held territory.
