Malaysia Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said he discussed the downing of Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17 with Russian President Vladimir Putin during a visit to Moscow, days after a U.N. report found Russia responsible for the disaster.

Malaysia has a ‘moral responsibility’ to seek justice for the victims, even if it means jeopardising Russia relations, experts say.

Russia and Malaysia are working on launching direct flights between the two countries, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday.
