The international community must keep pressure on Russia over the downing of MH17 as a Dutch court reaches a verdict on the tragedy, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte believes.
The Dutch leader said his message to Vladimir Putin was that his country, Australia and other victims of the attack would never let go.
A court will reach a verdict on Thursday in the trial of four men charged in the Netherlands with murder for their alleged involvement in the 2014 shooting down the Malaysian Airlines plane.
Prosecutors said the four defendants helped supply the missile system that Russian-backed separatists used in the attack.
