“Should Malaysian representatives wish to discuss the topic of the Boeing, we certainly will also be ready to discuss it,” Ushakov said, Reuters reported.

On July 17, 2014, a Boeing 777 Malaysian airliner flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur was shot down over eastern Ukraine near Donetsk, a region occupied by pro-Russian militants.

All 298 passengers on MH17 perished.

Despite evidence that pro-Russian separatists shot down the commercial flight, Russia blames the West and continues to deny any involvement.

In March 2015, a piece from the crash site of the downed Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 matched a Russian surface-to-air BUK rocket.

These missiles can be launched from trucks and can hit targets 13 miles off the ground.

Kiev and its Western supporters blame the rebels for the incident.
