A bereaved Kiwi mum is suing Vladimir Putin over the death of her husband when flight MH17 was shot down from the sky over Ukraine in 2014. They are seeking A$10 million ($10.67 million) on behalf of 33 next-of-kin of passengers who died in the attack. Sydney law firm LHD Lawyers have filed a claim against the Russian Federation and its President, Vladimir Putin, in the European Court of Human Rights. The Dutch Safety Board found MH17 had been hit by a Russian-made Buk missle, but the board's report did not say who fired it. "We just want to let it play out and obviously we are still very very upset by all the events."
