Investigators of the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 crash have established that on the day of the crash Russian-backed insurgents were planning to carry out a terrorist attack against an aircraft belonging to Aeroflot, which would become a pretext for the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, Head of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) Valentyn Nalyvaichenko has said.
“Ukraine’s law enforcement and intelligence agencies have established
during the investigation into a terrorist attack on the Boeing… that
on that day, July 17, and at that time military mercenaries and
terrorists from the Russian Federation planned to carry out a terrorist
attack against a passenger aircraft of Aeroflot en route from Moscow to
Larnaca… as a pretext for the further invasion by Russia,”
Nalyvaichenko said at a briefing in Kyiv on Aug. 8.
“This cynical terrorist attack was planned for the day when the
[Malaysia Airlines] plane happened to fly by, planned by war criminals
as a pretext for the further military invasion by the Russian
Federation, that is, there would be a casus belli,” he added.
Thus, according Nalyvaichenko, the terrorists downed the Malaysian airliner by mistake.
