The reconstructed wreckage of a Boeing 777 is seen after the presentation of the final report into the crash of July 2014 of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 over Ukraine.

The long-awaited findings of the board, which was not empowered to address questions of responsibility, did not specify who launched the missile.
