Russia backed the Australian-sponsored resolution after some changes were made to the text, including the characterisation of the incident as "the downing" of Malaysia Airlines MH17 rather than "shooting". Ms Bishop told the UN Security Council described the vote as "an unambiguous response from the international community to an utterly deplorable act". The vote came as a refrigerated train carrying the remains of most of the 298 victims of the tragedy left the crash site.

The more morally discredited the pro-Russian rebellion, the easier the West will find sanctions to impose on it. The problem is such sanctions will treat only the symptoms, not the cause, of Ukraine's present illness. For that reason, it would be a mistake if Western leaders again rejected the only real route out of the crisis: direct negotiations with Russia.

Even before disaster struck in March with the mysterious disappearance of MH370, the airline was in a perilous financial position, perhaps the worst in the region, burning cash at an unsustainable rate. After last week's tragic loss, when MH17 was shot out of the skies over eastern Ukraine, the airline's destiny has been sealed. Only two options remain for the stricken airline, and both involve a purchase; either a privatisation by the Malaysian Government or a 'sale' to a rival - although it is unlikely any potential purchaser would pay anything for the carrier.
