A Dutch court convicted three men and acquitted one on Thursday over the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 above Ukraine in 2014, as tensions soar over Russia's invasion eight years later.

People hold flags at a memorial to victims of the Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 plane crash during a ceremony marking the fifth anniversary of the accident near the village of Hrabove in Donetsk Region, Ukraine on July 17, 2019.

There was not enough evidence to show that Pulatov, the only suspect to have legal representation during the trial, was involved, they said. Judges also found that the Donetsk People's Republic was "under Russian federation control" at the time of the downing of MH17. The MH17 trial has meanwhile emerged as a something of a test case for efforts to bring perpetrators to justice over war crimes in Ukraine since 2014.
