Bellingcat claims Russia faked MH17 evidence to accuse Ukraine [View all]

Source: UT

The Russian Defense Ministry used misdated and edited satellite images of the MH17 crash to put the responsibility for the Malaysian Airliner shootdown on Ukraine.

This is alleged by the independent investigation group Bellingcat in the new report "MH17 – The open source investigation, Two Years Later". The document was presented two days before the second anniversary of the catastrophe, which took place in the separatist-controlled parts of Eastern Ukraine on July 17, 2016.

Russia has numerously accused Ukraine of downing the plane and killing all 298 people on board. Moscow brought up several versions of Kyiv's involvement, gradually changing its allegations regarding the weapon behind the crash. At various times the Kremlin suggested MH17 had been shot down by a Ukraine's fighter jet, later replacing the story with a Ukrainian BUK anti-air system.

The Bellingcat's latest report, which provides analysis of the inquiry into the crash, claims the photos, released by the Russian Defense Ministry in support of its theories were "so heavily manipulated that they lack any credibility as evidence".
