DISINFO: New proof that MH17 was shot down from a territory controlled by Ukraine

SUMMARY

An eyewitness of Ukrainian troop movements in Donbas during the days around the tragedy proves that MH17 was shot down from Zaroschenskoe, then controlled by Ukraine. .

RESPONSE

Recurring disinformation related to the MH17 tragedy. According to the Insider, satellite imagery used as proof in Rossiya-1’s broadcast in fact contradicts the testimony of an interviewee in the very same broadcast; the person in question claims to be an eyewitness of Ukrainian troop movements in Donbas during the days around the tragedy. On top of that, the claims made by the alleged eyewitness entirely contradict the results in Bellingcat’s open source investigation referred to above. Read more on our website. The Dutch-led Joint Investigation Team, has concluded that a BUK missile, which had been transported into Ukraine from Russian territory, killed the innocent passengers on board the Malaysian Airlines flight.
