Russia Shouldn't Be Blamed for Malaysia Airlines Flight 17

There is a serious lack of evidence and sources in your argument. I search up a lot of what you said and most of what you listed as evidence and reasons did not come up online. (By the way, the downing was sad, I'm not arguing that it was justified, no matter who brought it down, I'm arguing it's not appropriate to blame Russia. ) Let me start with Bellingcat. Bellingcat is an independent news/blog 'agency' meaning reliability on their sources isn't established. Independent news agencies are highly biased and usually can't prove their sources because they focus on getting attention and not giving facts. Let me give you an example. They claim the BUK Missile System shot it from Kursk? The BUK Missile system has a circumference range of 30-45 kilometers and altitute of 20 kilometers [1]. Kursk is more than 45 kilometers away from the Ukrainian border, much more 150 kilometers away from the actual location of where the plane was shot down. In case you don't know the geographical proximity of Kursk or where Ukraine and Donetsk is on the map, here it is. The plane was downed closer to Rostov than Kharkiv or Kursk, by the way. As for your 'FaceBook' post made by that seperatist colenol, two things wrong with that. Firstly, absolutely no site I could find mentioned anything at all similar to the colenol or his posting of the plane being shot down. Secondly, Russians and Ukrainians are primarily and VERY likely to use Vkontakte as their social media brand of choice. I'm guessing you took that colenol posting off another independent news agency which is making me question the reliability fo your sources even more. Otherwise, please link me to your source of that posting or you may find consequences during the voting stage. Ukraine also immediately shifted the blame to Donetsk seperatists [2] and directly at Russia [3], so that also mean they violated UN articles and are conclusively responsible? Although there is proof Russia is funding these rebels, there isn't proof they are directly sending them missiles and weaponry. Ukraine also failed to prove that the evidence that these rebels had BUK missile systems. One thing Ukraine DID prove is the Ukrainian armed forces do operate AND currently posess BUK Missile systems [4]. Your mentioning of the UN article. You only quoted the article and made the statement that Russia had warped the information of the event and incident. You have not supported the foundation of that statement with any sources nor had I found any website or news agency links that led me to believe Russia partook in twisting the truth. The only conclusive statement from your quotation of the article is that you are making an assumptive and unfounded allegation, just like much of the nations that directly blamed Russia for the incident. The reports of May 2016 were inconclusive [5] as both Ukraine [6] and rebel forces had denied authorization for United Nations investigators to enter the area for full investigative processing as the area was labeled a 'war-zone' and unsafe for foreign operators. There are no cold hard facts except the sources I have provided against your word which was not backed by the initative I took to search up online.
