Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatseniuk has said he has no doubt that Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 was shot down by Russian special forces from territory controlled by separatist militants in Donbas.

“Personally I have no doubts that this was a planned operation of the
Russian security forces on shooting down the MH17 plane of Malaysian
Airlines,” he said during a government meeting in Kyiv on Tuesday.

“We believe this was done exclusively from the territory which is
controlled by Russian [backed separatist] militants and we have no doubt
that drunk separatists can’t operate Buk systems, and that this means
that only trained Russian military could operate these systems,”
Yatseniuk said.

He said that Ukraine will soon publish the results of its investigation into the tragedy

“Our experts and specialists held dozens of examinations which also will be presented to media,” Yatseniuk said.
