As in the airliner bombing by Libyan agents and other such incidents, the families of the victims will never let this go until Putin is held accountable. I would not.
But that's just it; yes, the incidents are similar and yes, Russia is a rogue nation similar to Libya, but Putin is not Gaddafi (Russia is not Libya). There is no way Putin would ever hand over anyone responsible or even admit guilt, much less pay reparations (Libya did not pay reparations). He can simply ignore them. The US, on the other hand, paid $61 million in reparations for the Vincennes incident.

Sorry, but given the sums for which people in the USA are sometimes suing each other, that amount is a mere pittance. (Yes, I agree, it is better than nothing.)
