The link is a live thread that is updated as they come out with more information.

This isn't the first time this has happened. The Ukrainians, before the airline shootdown, said one of their SU-25s was shot down by a Russian jet. That is why Obama, when describing the shootdown of previous planes by separatists, said "and they claim to have shot down a Ukrainian jet." It's because Obama was too chicken to say that the claim was false.

SU-25s don’t fly straight and level at 33,000 ft squaking a civilian airliner code.

Since these aircraft were produced in Russia, would it be too far out there to suggest maybe some sort of homing device hidden within aircraft ? Sort of an ID? GPS?

More about this coming out now, via Twitter.

Kiev used 4 SU-25’s in a desperate attempt to save some of the trapped South Pocket units, and lost two of them, apparently. There are also reports that a helicopter went down near Lysyschansk.

If true, this supports other reports that the trapped 79th Brigade has been “Wiped out” today.

A rebel-controlled border post along the Southeast border also fell today, Chervona Zorya. That is very near the “Cease-fire Zone” around the downed Malaysian plane.
