Ukraine will support the initiative on the consideration of the criminal case on MH17 crash, which occurred in the summer of 2014 in Donetsk region, in the Netherlands, the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine reported.

"At the moment, we consider several options. The Ukrainian side naturally supports consideration of the case in a national court of the Netherlands," First Deputy Prosecutor General of Ukraine Dmytro Storozhuk said at a briefing in Kyiv on Wednesday.

According to him, this is the option that is discussed today.

"Any judicial consideration in Ukraine will be politicized, there will be constant accusations of bias, as Ukraine is a party to an armed conflict on our territory," he added.
