Some large pieces of the plane still remain at the crash site in eastern Ukraine, it has been claimed.

All 298 people on board the flight, which was en route from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, died when it broke apart during flight on July 17, 2014.

In May, Dutch-led international investigators concluded the missile that brought down MH17 belonged to a Russian brigade.

It was fired from rebel-held territory in Ukraine.

But the Kremlin has continued to deny investigators’ claims Russia was behind the strike.

Now, Dutch publication Novini said they have photos showing pieces of wreckage, which apparently include the aircraft’s tail-plane, pieces of aircraft covering, pieces of a wing and an oxygen generator.

"They are so big that they even can be seen using Google Earth," plane expert Eric van de Beek said.

"Very much to our surprise no Dutch paper or program has reported this news.

"I knew that what we are doing is Samizdat, but that the big media in The Netherlands leave this major discovery unreported is beyond me," he added.

"If it’s of no interest to the Dutch media and authorities, maybe the Donbass authorities can hand the parts of the wreckage over to the Russian authorities, for them to research what happened to MH17."

"The question is how important these pieces of wreckage are," the article’s author Stefan Beck said.

"A single bolt helped determine the cause of the Bijlmer crash [which occurred in Amsterdam in 1992 - TASS].

“Dutch prosecutors say that the cause of the MH17 crash has been determined but skepticism still remains as no one is studying the wreckage that has been there for a long time," he pointed out.

The Boeing-777 passenger plane was shot down over Ukraine’s eastern region of Donetsk.

Those who lost their lives included 10 Brits and 193 people from the Netherlands.

A number of conspiracies surround what happened to the flight, including Russian and North Korean hijack attempts.

The Joint Investigation Team (JIT) looking into the crash comprises representatives of the Netherlands, Australia, Belgium, Malaysia and Ukraine.

On May 24, the team gave an update of the state of affairs in the criminal investigation, claiming that "the BUK-TELAR that was used to down MH17, originates from the 53rd Anti-Aircraft Missile brigade... a unit of the Russian army from Kursk in the Russian Federation."

Russia’s Defence Ministry rejected all the allegations and said that none of the missile systems belonging to the Russian Armed Forces had ever been taken abroad.

The ministry noted that Moscow had provided Dutch investigators with overwhelming evidence proving that a Ukrainian Buk missile system had been used to bring down the aircraft.
