A Dutch-led investigation has concluded that the powerful surface-to-air missile system that was used to shoot down a Malaysia Airlines plane over Ukraine two years ago, killing all 298 on board, was trucked in from Russia at the request of Russian-backed separatists and returned to Russia the same night.
The report largely confirmed the already widely documented Russian government role not only in the deployment of the missile system, called a Buk, or SA-11, but the subsequent cover-up, which continues to this day.
Just a few days later, the United States government concluded that the plane had been brought down by a Russian-made surface-to-air missile launched from rebel-held territory and most likely provided by Russia to pro-Moscow separatists.

I searched a little bit about this flight and found out that maybe 100 of the world’s leading HIV/Aids researchers were on the flight MH17.
Early reports said 100 researchers had died, a figure sometimes given as precisely as 108 deaths. It was reported in every major news outlet, and from there, relayed to the world.
The figure was wrong — the number of confirmed dead who were heading to the conference was six, and while it’s possible further names will be released, it can’t get up to 100 or anywhere near that.
...Journalists did try to clarify the figure, an AIDS 2014 conference spokeswoman told us. “Many journalists asked us but we were not able to confirm anything until we had confirmation from the authorities and permission from their families,” she said.
That confirmation came later, and included six names, not the expected 100.
It took until Saturday morning for Malaysia Airlines to contact all the families of the people on the flight, and thus be in a position to release a passenger manifest. The conference’s statement on the six passengers who were conference attendees came shortly after — at 12.15pm on Saturday.
Russia Implicated in Shooting Down Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17

Love the "implicated" tag, too.
Based on the results of the criminal investigation it can be concluded that flight MH17 was shot down on 17 July 2014 by a missile of the 9M38 series, launched by a BUK-TELAR. This is consistent with the conclusions drawn by the OVV of 13 October 2015. The BUK-TELAR was brought in from the territory of the Russian Federation and subsequently also taken back to the Russian Federation.

Did you actually watch the presentation? They present information they the BUK launcher came from Russia. Stopped in separatist held territory. And then returned to Russia after the downing of MH17 with one less missile. I'd say that died more than just show the missile was Russian made.

Implicated because the missile was from a Russian operated launcher, apparently used by their supported separatists who had already shot down aircraft. Difficult for Russia to deny knowledge considering the launcher was retuned back to Russia after use.

The film footage of the launcher "returning" to Russia was debunked long ago,

The film footage of the launcher "returning" to Russia was debunked long ago, being exposed as film taken much earlier than the shutdown but falsely presented by the Ukraine government as taken after this event.

How you determined which of the many BUK missile launchers in Ukraine actually fired The missile is... precious.

Just a sadly coincidence or maybe Russia knew something?
