5. SOUNDBITE (English) Peter Ahgendooen, from Holland:

"Or course it is a terrible thing to happen and now trying to bring perpetrators to court it is very difficult, because everybody knows that it was Russia involved. The proof is 100 percent, I would say it's water tight. To get (Russian President Vladimir) Putin or his military to admit that Russian soldiers were in Ukraine, that will never happen I guess. Because if he (Putin) admits that, he is violating international law by sending officially troops into the neighbouring country."

"Today it's a very tragic day, because this is a crime that happened here and so many people, children died. Crimes were not punished and we don't want it to be so, we want it to be fair. And we want relatives of victims to not stay in suspense. I hope that the trial will happen soon and the guilty people will be punished. And that such crimes will never happen again."

Ukraine marked the fourth anniversary of the Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 tragedy on Tuesday.

Four years ago, a Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 was shot down by a missile over eastern Ukraine. 298 passengers and crew were killed as a result.

International prosecutors have said earlier this year they had unequivocal evidence of Russian involvement in the downing of the Malaysian passenger jet.

In May, a Dutch-led international team of investigators said they had strong evidence that the Buk missile system that brought down the Amsterdam-Kuala Lumpur flight came from a Russia-based military unit, the 53rd anti-aircraft missile brigade based in the Russian city of Kursk.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has rejected the findings.
