A Google search for “Who Shot Down Malaysian Airlines 17?” elicits a plethora of innocuous-sounding Kremlin sites (Globalnews, Express, Storyleak) claiming that either a Ukrainian fighter or a Ukrainian missile shot down MH17 to cast blame on Russia.

After all, they say, the matter is under investigation.  BBC cautions that getting to the truth is a “Herculean task” and that “alternative scenarios” must be disproved. The New York Times leads with the headline “Little Certainty 1 Year after Airliner Shot Down in Ukraine.” Such hemming and hawing raises the doubts for which Russian propaganda strives.
