Murder In The Sky: Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17
OP-ED
Maxim Eristavi: The plane that radicalized Ukraine
A firefighter sprays water to extinguish a fire, on July 17, 2014, amongst the wreckages of the malaysian airliner carrying 295 people from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur after it crashed, near the town of Shaktarsk, in rebel-held east Ukraine. Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said on Thursday that the Malaysia Airlines jet that crashed over rebel-held eastern Ukraine may have been shot down.\"We do not exclude that the plane was shot down and confirm that the Ukraine Armed Forces did not fire at any targets in the sky,\" Poroshenko said in a statement posted on the president's website.
The downing of a Malaysian airliner is pushing Kyiv’s political class in dangerous directions.
