KIEV, Jan. 4 – Dutch prosecutors have said they will "seriously study" claims by citizen journalists to have identified Russian soldiers implicated in the crash of flight MH17, shot down over eastern Ukraine in July 2014, The Guardian wrote on January 4.

The claims have been made by a British-based group of "citizen investigative journalists" called Bellingcat, which specializes in trawling through data on social media and other open sources, the Guardian said.
