Asked whether Moscow is ready to hand over for trial in the West its citizens if they are accused by the international investigation, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov has offered to wait for the official publication of the results of the probe, according to an UNIAN correspondent in the Russian Federation.

"Hypothetical reasoning in such a serious case is irrelevant. Let's wait for the report," Peskov said.

However, he claims that Moscow has always insisted on objective investigation of the MH17 disaster.
