Ukraine s government vowed Friday to bring to justice those who downed a Ukrainian passenger jet in Iran, as hundreds gathered in Kiev to mourn the victims on the first anniversary of their deaths.
On January 8 last year Ukraine International Airlines (UIA) Flight PS752 crashed shortly after taking off from Iran s capital Tehran killing all 176 people aboard, including 55 Canadians.
The Islamic republic admitted three days later that its forces mistakenly shot down the Kiev-bound Boeing 737-800 plane after firing two missiles, amid heightened US-Iran tensions.
On Friday, relatives, friends and colleagues of the Ukrainian crew and passengers attended a ceremony at the site of a future memorial to the victims on the banks of the Dnipro river.
