A Dutch court has found three men guilty of murder for shooting down a passenger jet over eastern Ukraine in 2014, killing 298 people.

The court found that a Russian-made missile supplied from Russia and fired by an armed group under Russian control brought down flight MH17.

The men - two Russians and one Ukrainian - were found guilty in absentia and sentenced to life in jail. A third Russian was acquitted.

it's below "collateral damage" which calculates chances of killing civilians. How many soldiers were prosecuted for that crime in many other military conflicts?

 

was somehow this sentence influenced by dutch participation in the ongoing war as a nato member?
