Timing of New MH17 Accusations Clearly Linked to FIFA World Cup
Sputnik: What are your thoughts on the timing that the investigators chose to reveal results of the probe? Ulrich Heyden: For me it is obviously, that the timing is connected with the FIFA World Cup. The last year it was rather quiet around the case MH 17. The Dutch-investigators are only repeating their old accusations against Russia. They are not presenting new proofs. This “investigators” are acting perfidious and in the same way as the British investigators, who are claiming, that Russia is guilty for the attack on Sergej and Juli Skripal.

Jogging around a dewy field in front of a group of journalists, the team broke out in laughter when one player collided with a training mannequin and was sent sprawling to the ground.Perhaps the players’ moods should have been more somber.

How to protect yourself against fraud when buying Fifa World Cup tickets
World Cup fans with tickets not bought through the official website may be refused entry to matches, Fifa has warned.
