KIEV, June 25 – Kiev supports the creation of an international tribunal to punish those responsible for the Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17 disaster in 2014, although the country is ready to consider other options, Ukrainian Foreign Ministry charge d'affaires Dmytro Kuleba said.

"From the point of view of international lawfulness of the mechanism of punishment, the model of creating a tribunal the regulations of which is approved by the UN Security Council is the most optimal one. This would allow [for] providing for cooperation of all countries with the tribunal and recognize its verdicts. However, we do not deny other mechanisms of punishment, including within the field of national jurisdiction," Kuleba said at a briefing in Kiev on Wednesday.
