The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation said that the Boeing over Ukraine was shot down by an air-to-air missile that was not produced in Russia. According to the official representative of the department, Vladimir Markin, this is confirmed by the results of the examinations.
“And all this once again confirms the testimony of the most important witness Yevgeny Agapov, who served in the military as a mechanic of aviation weapons of the first squadron of the tactical aviation brigade of the Ukrainian Air Force,” the official representative of the ICR concluded.

- Vladimir Markin made his statement after CNN found out that the official report of the international investigation team would name pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine as the culprits of the Boeing crash. The Federal Air Transport Agency, following the RF IC , promised to present its own conclusions about the downed Boeing.
- The Russian Investigative Committee has long insisted that the plane was shot down by a Ukrainian plane. This statement is based on the words of Yevgeny Agapov, who allegedly served at the Ukrainian military base and saw how the Su-25 attack aircraft flew away with a full set, and returned without one missile. Attack aircraft designer Vladimir Babak noted that the Su-25 is inferior to the Boeing in speed and does not carry powerful enough missiles to destroy the liner.
- According to independent researchers, the Boeing was shot down over Ukraine from a Buk launcher, which was delivered from Russian territory. The Buk manufacturer claims that the liner was shot down from Ukrainian territory.
- The Boeing was shot down on July 17, 2014. About 300 people died as a result of the disaster.
