Malaysian Air Flight 17 was shot down by a surface to air missile, likely shot by Ukrainian Separatists whom support assimilation into Russia. The escalating Civil War now has resulted in the loss of 295 lives, and according to President Obama, at least 1 American citizen.
It is believed that the system used to take down the plane was designed by Russia and implemented as a result of Russia’s involvement in the escalating situation in the Ukraine.
Russia has been heavily involved in influencing Crimea to rejoin Russia, even placing troops in key government buildings within the region.
