An Australian brother and sister orphaned when their parents died in the MH17 plane attack have hit out at Vladimir Putin and an “arrogant” Russia.
Vanessa and James Rizk lost their parents, Maree and Albert, in the 2014 downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17.
Vanessa and James Rizk have called out Russian President Vladimir Putin. Picture: Alexander Zemlianichenko “Seven years on, I am determined that you will never, ever break my spirit and capacity to live and love, just as my parents would have wanted me to,” Ms Rizk said. Vanessa Rizk recounted all the milestones her parents had missed; births, marriages and all the moments in between.
All on board died as a Buk missile blew the Boeing 777 heading from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur out of the sky above eastern Ukraine.
