never forget that their child was lost in a war that had been unleashed by kiev and the west of ukraine. the east of ukraine would never come to terms with this. that's what i think. so you need for and how will you manage on your own. course we need help never a caesar strong young state it's very fragile we definitely need help and i really hope russia will help us. at least i'm sure no one is looking to the west for any help. that some of the well the west says the russia is financing these self-defense forces so most of the self-defense forces are russian. you've crossed the border into ukraine is that so. i used to live in a border town as i say. and i never saw any russian soldiers or military equipment crossing over the border i'm not lying i'm telling the truth. i have another cousin she's from the ukrainian city of. in the west of the country. and she supports the my down movement. i didn't want to argue or try to convince her she is wrong to do so. now we simply don't talk to each other we're divided by different views. but i know what i'm talking about when i say my town is being bombe

put it much of east ukraine is in a fluid situation in terms of who controls what any given time the ukraine government has released what it claims are a number of evidence surely it's for example it is said that it rebels have these weapon systems i should point out that of course the prosecutor general himself the night the rebels have this system so it's fair to say there's a lot of confusion at the moment and really this really points the way to the importance of a thoroughly independent. investigation to uncover all of the leads in this case. and shortly after the plane crash other mainstream outlets latched on to the message coming from washington and kiev a new thing a storm of accusations against ukraine's government forces and against moscow as well we asked load of a new state journalist and a former security consultant why the finger of blame is being pointed so quickly. i think if they did if this consider this stupid enough to choose to once again have played the blame game on russia and on the insurgency in the east of ukraine i meant and it's too good an opportunity to

if it is proven that resistance fighters and east ukraine downed m.h. seventeen that it's obviously a direct result of russia d. stabilizing assad friends state and supporting anti government as well at least a few of the british prime minister david cameron and the accusations started even before the beginning of any official investigation as artie's guy nature can. before investigators made it to the crash site the u.s. announced to the world where the deadly missile shot came from evidence indicates that the plane was shot down by a surface to air missile that was launched from an area that is controlled by russian backed separatists inside of ukraine but the u.s. president stopped short of saying who pulled the trigger we don't know exactly what happened and yet u.s. officials all but to accuse the rebels in eastern ukraine and russia by association of having shot down the plane president obama based his suggestions on incidents of ukrainian military jets that the rebels recently shot out of the sky a group of separatists can't shoot. military trans
