Ukraine
Wants 'Maximum Compensation' For Downed Boeing Jet
Ukraine's foreign minister has reiterated his country will make every effort to
maximize compensation for a jet that was shot down by Iran in January.
Talks between the two countries began on Thursday. However, the foreign
minister has said these efforts will not be easy.
"We have long worked for these negotiations to begin and I welcome the
fact that they have finally started," stated Dmytro Kuleba. "I expect
the process isn't going to be easy, but we are working to achieve the goal: to
deliver justice."
Iran has claimed it mistook the jet for a missile when it fired on the
aircraft. Officials have also pointed out it was shot down at a time when
tensions with the U.S. were high.
All 176 passengers onboard the jet were killed. Ukraine's foreign ministry
confirmed more details will be reported on Friday.
