The U.S. State Department has released satellite images it says back up the assertion by Washington and Kiev that Russian forces are firing artillery into eastern Ukraine in support of separatists.
According to The Associated Press, they claim to show multiple rocket launchers fired at Ukrainian forces from within Ukraine and from Russian soil.
This fourth page of a four page document released by the U.S. State Department in Washington, July 27, 2014 shows a satellite image that purports to shows ground scarring at two multiple rocket launch sites oriented in the direction of Ukraine military units.
Stepping up pressure on Moscow, the U.S. on Sunday released satellite images it says show that rockets have been fired from Russia into neighboring eastern Ukraine and that heavy artillery for separatists also has crossed the border.
The four-page memo is part of the Obama administration's push to hold Russia accountable for its activities in neighboring Ukraine and the release could help to persuade the United States' European allies to apply harsher sanctions on Russia.

It seems like US with allies supported by propaganda machinery AKA corporate owned media have decided to go all the way on Russia.
have released satellite images they say show that Russia has fired rockets against Ukrainian forces in the last week, in support of separatist rebels.
The images, which were prepared by the Director of National Intelligence and forwarded to reporters by the State Department, show what the U.S. government says are multiple rocket launchers and self-propelled howitzers on Russian territory.
and what Washington says is Russian-supplied heavy weaponry being fired by separatists from within Ukraine between July 21 and July 26.
Have you ever considered Russia might be lying about their involvement and whats going on in Ukraine? The evidence to date strongly suggests that.
US officials have released images which allegedly show Russia firing on Ukraine.
Early reports indicated that a total of four pictures were released. They allegedly depicted an area close to the two countries' shared border.
The images released on Sunday reportedly show Russian batteries located within its own territory and impact craters across the border in eastern Ukraine.

No, because to date there is no direct evidence. Show me forensics. A biot of rocket or shell fragment with date code and mil lot # would do nicely.
Do you remember the Syrian rebels fake shelling Turkey, blaming the Syrian government?
Of courrrrse you don't.

I don't know about you but I am choosing not to trust "the officials"; "the Washington".
based on my past experiences chances are that not only that they are probably wrong in their assertions but that they are intentionally deceiving the public...
you be the judge I will wait for proofs.
the US. Office of the Director of National Intelligence released satellite images taken by the private civilian company Digital Globe (and thus not government sourced)

The evidence is in the satellite images.
People demanded the US show its evidence and it did.

Has there been a statement from the US on having a satellite over the area when the jet was shot down? I ask because the only place I have seen that claim was from an RT article.
US Air Force monitoring satellites probably spotted the activation of a telltale missile radar signal in eastern Ukraine – quickly followed by the infrared signature of a midair explosion.
A U.S. satellite over Ukraine picked up on the heat of the missile, experts said.
