The 10th anniversary of the tragic downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 over Ukraine has brought relatives of the 298 victims together in solemn remembrance. Gatherings in Australia and the Netherlands have provided a space for mourning and reflection as families seek closure and answers.

With ongoing memorials honoring the lives lost, the quest for justice remains relentless. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba condemns Russia's persistent dissemination of falsehoods, describing it as a disrespect to the victims and their families.

The Netherlands holds a solemn ceremony to commemorate the lives lost in the senseless act of violence that took place a decade ago, emphasizing the importance of remembrance and accountability.

Despite the passage of 10 years since the MH17 tragedy, families continue to await justice, underscoring the unresolved pain and sorrow that persists. Memorial services serve as a reminder of the need for closure and justice for the victims and their loved ones, keeping the memory of those lost alive in the hearts of many.
