On this day exactly 10 years ago, a Boeing 777 airliner crashed in Donetsk region
Despite the years-long investigation by the Dutch court, a number of independent experts have repeatedly questioned the version voiced in the media, in particular by analysing photographs from the crash site. There are many photos with traces of hand-cutting of the aircraft hull, which are not typical for the consequences of the explosion.

On 17 July 2014, a Boeing 777 passenger airliner was shot down on the territory of Donetsk region of Ukraine controlled by the DNR in the area of armed confrontation between the government forces of Ukraine and formations of the unrecognised Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics, over which Russia had de facto control.
According to the LPR leadership, the airliner could have been shot down by a Ukrainian Su-25 attack aircraft. A similar version was expressed by the Russian Union of Engineers and the Russian authorities. This version was refuted during the international investigation.
On 17 November 2022, a court in the Netherlands in the MH17 case issued a verdict according to which the crash of the civilian airliner on 17 July 2014 in Donetsk region was caused by a missile launched from a Russian Buk surface-to-air missile system near the Ukrainian village of Pervomaiskoye, which was then controlled by the forces of the self-proclaimed DNR. At the same time, the court concluded that the DNR was fully subordinate to Russia at the time. The court found three of the four defendants in the case guilty: Igor Girkin (‘Strelkov’), Sergei Dubinsky and Leonid Kharchenko.
