Vladimir Putin is facing a multi-million-pound legal action for his alleged role in the shooting down of a Malaysia Airlines passenger jet over eastern Ukraine, The Sunday Telegraph can disclose.
British lawyers are preparing a class action against the Russian president through the American courts. Senior Russian military commanders and politicians close to Mr Putin are also likely to become embroiled in the legal claim.
The case would further damage relations between Mr Putin and the West, but politicians would be powerless to prevent it.
Last week, lawyers from McCue & Partners, the London law firm, flew to Ukraine for discussions about how to bring the case and where it should be filed. Victims’ families will be invited to join the action. The case will inevitably highlight the role allegedly played by Russia in stoking conflict in eastern Ukraine.

Arrange to Shoot down a plane and get sued? If that’s all it will cost him, expect more.
It might not be so cute to him and his fans when the cost comes straight out of his overseas investments. Putin’s no ascetic; he loves money, especially other people’s money. He’s taken so much that it’s hard to say if he is the world’s richest man. Nonetheless, the victims of Putin’s mass murder deserve compensation from the sponsor and patron of Putin’s proxy army in his illegal, undeclared war against Ukraine.
If Putin chose to file a libel and defamation lawsuit in British courts, he could be laughing all the way to the bank.
Oh really. Do you suppose it’s just because he is such a nice guy that he doesn’t do it? Do you think he’d testify in a court and provide evidence? Have another margarita and think this theory of yours through a bit more. I’m sure Putin won’t be following up on your suggestion. I never say this but “LOL.”
Suspicion for the apparent shooting down of a Malaysia Airlines flight immediately fell on pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine who two weeks ago boasted of capturing powerful surface-to-air missiles.
Anton Gerashenko, a senior aide to Ukraine’s interior minister, said the aircraft carrying 295 passengers was brought down with a missile fired from a Buk anti-aircraft missile battery.
Fighters from the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) overran a Ukrainian army garrison on June 29 and claimed to have captured at least one such weapon. “ http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/ukraine/10974821/Ukrainian-separatists-suspected-of-bringing-down-Malaysia-Airlines-flight-on-Russian-border.html
Now where is your source? Nato?
"Typically, whenever the Russkies send something over the border, they claim they captured it first,"
There is no evidence that this is true, however, except from Russian media.
Now where is your source? Nato?
Yes, it is NATO, as well as photographs seen of the Buk traveling through Ukraine and then later fleeing back to Russia, thus implying that is where it came from.
The pitfalls of FINT (facebook intelligence). The photograph of Buk was taken in Krasnoarmeysk, town under Kiev control.
FINT forgot to edit the photograph and it shows the billboard ad for the Krasnoarmeysk car dealership, along with the dealership address.
Perhaps it is the time for the T shirt reading something like this - "My tax dollars fund NSA and all I got is this crappy photograph from Facebook"
This was the lie told by the Russkies. The dealership address was never visible to begin with, and it has been confirmed that the video is accurate from journalists who visited the area.
From the Interpreter:
The vehicle in question, according to Ukraine, passed through Krasnadon on its way back across the border as is reflected on our map. Claims that this video was taken in Ukrainian occupied territory — in Krasnoarmeysk, have been debunked. Furthermore, The Interpreter contacted the owners of the billboard locations and were provided with a complete list of billboard locations as well as images of many of the sites. After a careful investigation we can definitively conclude that this video was recorded in Lugansk, on a road between the MH17 crash site and the border crossing near Krasnadon.

Those are the real pitfalls of being a stupid gullible Putinista who reports stuff from Russian media on this forum like fact.
The press is too busy polishing Obama’s golf shoes to investigate Putin.
I am sure no one knows his net worth. Guys like that keep their assets hidden. Exposing his secrets opens up other's secrets. And they ALL do the same thing.
You can be sure any figures or sums we are privy too are only tips of the iceberg.
IOW, the elites all protect each other. When their are fractions and disputes, they deal with it the old fashioned way and it aint by disclosing their secrets to the slaves who make it all possible.
>> I’m lost on the connection.
It’s about popular outrage that doesn’t necessarily concern facts.
What they say about themselves: "The Interpreter is underwritten by two registered non-profit organizations: the London-based Herzen Foundation and the New York-based Institute of Modern Russia, of which the journal is a special project.
Check the people tab. Interpreter mag admits being an Khodorkovsky outfit.
Digging deeper reveals more on Khodorkovsky and IMR
The links of Soros and Khodorkovsky are well established. Why not contacting Soros directly for "proof"? Soros is known as subcontractor of dirty jobs and black ops. for DOS.
Khodorkovsky is merely a Soros lapdog. And Soros is merely manservant of....
One is as credible as his sources are. Your shilling for Soros on Conservative site is poor taste and poor judgement.
Tit for that, your source that the Interpreter is a propaganda arm for Soros appears to be a conspiracy website which declares:
"More evidence has been entered into the files of public record that terrorist organizations such as al-Qaeda, ISIS, and the al-Nusra Front are completely controlled by the CIA and other Western intelligence agencies."
http://www.activistpost.com/2014/07/former-al-qaeda-operative-claims.html#!bn0tea
IOW, 9/11 was an inside job run by CIA controlled Al-Qaeda. Now we know where you freaks are coming from in this debate.
Furthermore, if you read the article, you would know that it isn't just the Interpreter reporting this, and that they have hard evidence to back it up, though you could turn around and say that the entire MSM is "soros controlled" and maybe claim there is CGI going on. So how about this? Post a screenshot of your billboard with the address clearly visible. That should be easy, right?
My nephew is probably involved in this, it is what he does.
Putin: “don’t fly commercial aircraft thru an active war zone.”
I have read that Putin hides his looted money in Switzerland and Lichtenstein. Ironic isn’t it that such a “patriot” as Putin keeps his money in Switzerland and his daughter lived in Holland.
Soros is a manservant of who? The Jooos? ZOG?
Nah. Soros worked for Himmler when Nazis occupied Hungary in 1944. He helped looting of the property of murdered Hungarian Jews. Soros himself described it as the happiest time of his life. That's how he earned his stripes.
Soros' disinformation network was used in the past and is still used to defame Israel.
If you need the answer, follow the money. Search for Quantum fund and others hidden in the shade.
The MO of Soros disinforation network is known and well documented.
First, a Soros outfit A places fake story and it is immediatelly re-broadcasted by Soros outfits B and C, all of them having "human rights" "democracy" or similar fig leaf.
It is them picked up by small legitimate media flagged by the Soros outfits.
Last but not least, it is picked up by the major MSM.
When the story fizzles, MSM has credible two steps of separation.
Israelis were especially competent at exposing this scheme.
It is not conspiracy, it is media warfare.
In the past,FR was good place to look behind MSM machinations. Sadly, not so any more.
It seems that "duck and cover" exercise put many in Cold war mode of thinking whenever they see Russia word.
Notice that instead of backing up the claims of Russian media and your conspiracy trash, answering my challenge, you just repeated your accusation like the bootlicking Paultard/Alex Jones freak you are.
