If Ukraine already knew the Rebels had BUKs, why were they allowing civilian aircraft to fly over them?
Russia knew the rebels had Buks. Why were they allowing Russian civil jets to fly over? It was widely reported. 86 Aeroflot flight by one report I saw.
Don’t forget, according to some (ahem) sources, the Ukrainians thought that they were targeting Putin’s jet. I just wish the Russian propagandists would stick to one story.
