Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 (MH-17), that was shot down on July 17, 2014 in the Donbass region of Eastern Ukraine, killed all passengers onboard and was immediately blamed on pro-Russia Donbass volunteer militias fighting against henchmen of the Maidan civil unrest, the Neo-Nazi Azov Battalion and the Ukrainian military. The blame was assigned against the Donbass militias with no investigation occurring and many questions remaining unanswered. These questions were answered by Former Lieutenant Colonel Vasily Prozorov of the Ukrainian Security Services, who fled to Russia, in a damning new documentary titled “MH-17: In Search Of Truth.”
The whistleblower in the 39-minute documentary completely delegitimizes the findings found by the Dutch investigators and world leaders by drawing on classified documents he attained through his own high-ranking position and those close to him, as well as eye witness accounts including from the Donbass volunteers. The responsibility for investigating the tragedy was given to a Dutch-led joint investigation team with the Dutch Safety Board, who claimed that MH-17 was downed by the Donbass volunteers with a Buk surface-to-missile. Prozorov challenges this assertion and questioned why Malaysia, which owned MH-17, was pushed to the periphery of the investigation and priority was given to the Dutch side. This in itself is not damning and does not disprove that the Donbass volunteers were not responsible, but it does demonstrate that there is a clear agenda when a country with direct interest in this tragedy is cast aside.
Interestingly, the Dutch investigators completely disregarded declassified Russian Ministry of Defense information that the missile used to down MH-17 was sent to the Lviv region in Western Ukraine near the Polish border during the Soviet era, the opposite end of the country to Donbass. Prozorov was able to even reveal the serial number of the missile (8-8-6-8-7-2-0). This revelation is complemented by the fact that the Ukrainian military 156 Anti-Aircraft Regiment were operating in Donbass and had BUK vehicles in service in the region, as corroborated by two interviewees who served in the regiment, bringing into question why Dutch investigators ignored such critical information. This comes as it has now been proven, as explained in the documentary, that the alleged Russian Buk movement in Ukraine was faked, with a single still photo being used with a picture of a tractor, a trailer and a Buk vehicle being inserted into the picture.
However, the Ukrainian Security Service using the 156 Anti-Aircraft Regiment had not acted alone, and there were significant joint efforts with external states, primarily Britain, but also Australia. The documentary reveals that Ukrainian Major General Valery Kondratyuk and Lieutenant Colonel Vasily Burba, in which Prozorov knew the latter, was with two British secret service agents on June 22, 2014 in the battle zone some weeks before the MH-17 tragedy. Prozorov claims that Burba remained with the British agents in the region and plotted together with Ukrainian Security Services to bring down MH-17. As this was spearheaded by the British intelligence, there was no surprise that Englishman Elliot Higgins, a former lingerie retailer, who has not studied politics or journalism, had his obscure blogging elevated into the Bellingcat website, with monetary backing from George Soros’ Open Society Foundation, just days before the tragedy. Higgins was promoted to such an extent that he began to closely collaborate with the Atlantic Council, which Edward Curtins describes as “a think-tank with deep ties to the U.S. government, NATO, war manufacturers, and their allies, and the National Endowment for Democracy, another infamous U.S. front organization heavily involved in so-called color revolution regime change operations all around the world.” Higgins has also spearheaded disinformation campaigns on chemical weapon allegations against the Syrian government.
The MH-17 tragedy also strangely involved Australia, according to Prozorov, with Australian intelligence agent Peter Kalver, likely belonging to the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation if Prozorov’s allegations are correct, having a British phone number beginning with +44 and ending with 575, despite operating in Ukraine and being Australian, in which the national phone code of his home country is +61. With these revelations, Prozorov explains that “we collected enough information and documents that allow us to draw a firm conclusion. The Boeing crash was a provocation that had been planned and realized by the Ukrainian top leadership and the Western intelligence agencies.”
Prozorov lists the main culprits in this tragedy:
- Petr Poroshenko, the President of Ukraine at the time;
- Alexander Turchinov, the Secretary of the National Security and Defence Council of Ukraine;
- Viktor Muzhenko, the chief of the General Staff;
- Valentin Nalivaychenko, the Chief of the Security Service of Ukraine;
- Vasiliy Gritsak, the Chief of the Anti-Terrorist Center;
- Valeriy Kondratiuk, the Chief of the Counterintelligence Department of the Security Service;
- Vasiliy Burba, the Security Service officer;
- Lieutenant-Colonel Lyshchenko, the commander of the second division of 156 anti-aircraft regiment;
- The British intelligence agents who supervised this covert operation.
It is highly recommended that the documentary is viewed as all the information, in which all of it is relevant, cannot be confined into a single article. The insights and information provided by Prozorov thoroughly examines and concludes that MH-17 flight downing was an aggressive action taken by Ukraine with the backing of foreign intelligence agencies, particularly British, to discredit the Donbass militias. I would argue this was also done to legitimize a Western intervention in Ukraine. Just as Bellingcat’s disinformation campaign against Syria has failed, Higgins and other peoples campaign to blame the Donbass volunteers for MH-17 tragedy is also crumbling apart.

All these west European govts and Nato countries are worse than dogs. Here we have unrelenting aggression against Iran by Israel/US and their bosom buddies and who Nato is warning ?
Well, if Australia was in fact complicit, could it be that all those wildfires are just a gentle reminder from God that such things are not smiled upon?
Of course they were complicit. What else would you expect from a nation that abandons one of its own to a British gulag, no questions asked.
When the Brits & Yanks tell the Aussie kangeroos to jump, they always say “how high?”.
When they tell the Canadian geese to jump, they always say “how high?” as well.
And when the Brits are told to jump (they usually jump in anticipation of the order, so tuned in are they), they just pass it along to the Aussies and Canucks.
Brits probably gave the order in the first place, so they were at the ready. Remember when the BBC reported the collapse (planned demolition) of Building 7 something like 22 minutes before the collapse actually happened? Maybe they are just clairvoyant. 🙂
I doubt whether anyone responsible for these and other crimes suffered from these fires. Their turn will come though one day in the fires of Hell.

This is certainly at least partly true; but I suspect that the fires are more a judgement on that nation for its almost universal militant atheism and its embracing of the pervert hordes who parade themselves in its major cities.
“For our God is a consuming fire.”
Remember the judgement which fell upon the cities of the plains.
What have you got against dogs? It seems the western world has been taken over by international and gangsters of the worst kind wth total contempt for most 99% of their fellow human beings.
Rabid was the missing keyword.
How about switching dogs for the Tasmanian Devil at mating time?
The International Action Group of Dogs Opposed to Defamation has your contact details, and you will be hearing from our legal team shortly.
Hate speech of this kind will not be tolerated any longer.
I agree, all K9’s should be growling for rage to be associated with those spineless corrupt entities.
“…immediately blamed on pro-Russia Donbass volunteer militias…”. This omits one important thing: on that day, at that time when MH17 was downed, the militias had reported, even bragged, that they had downed an AN-26 military transporter plane. Only when they reached the wreckage and found what really had been downed, they changed the story. So in fact the blame was a logic consequence of their own eagerness to bring their “success” as “breaking news”. No official accuses the “Donbass volunteer militias” now. Who really is to blame will be one of the outcomes of the coming court case. I find… Read more »
There were witness statements who saw fighter planes closing on the MH17 then heard a bang and saw the plane going down, but there were ignored because they were from Donbass. It was also reported about a Ukrainian Pilot apparently was that Pilot but he commited suicide, how convinient. IMO the downing wasn’t planed at all, the nationalist coup supporter were very fanatized and blindsided they wanted really shoot down a Russian plane and kill lots of Russians, they saw the plane engaged it ‘Bang’…but it wasn’t a Russian, if you take a look at the Malaysian planes paint job… Read more »
There were witness statements from people on the ground who saw two Ukrainian fighter planes in the vicinity of the MH17. A German reporter who was apparently the first to arrive on the scene took photographs of the wreckage and reported that there were bullet holes from machine guns in the cockpit. The holes in the fuselage showed where bullets had both entered and exited the sides of the plane. Even though MH17 was a Malaysian aircraft, Malaysia was not permitted to participate in the “international” investigations and Malaysia’s prime minister has not agreed with the report’s conclusions. The Malaysian… Read more »
The whole so-called ‘Investigation’ and the JIT set-up was a sham from the start, they really pissed on the victims and give a fuck about facts or truth, it’s simply disgusting.
Really? Like I wrote in response to another comment, the sky was overcast. Definitely did not allow seeing fighter jets at the altitude of the Boeing. Also there are no fighter jets visible on the radar that Russia provided (probably one of the reasons why at last they dropped the fighter jet theory). Oh, and Malaysia took part in the technical investigations from the very start. Their participation in the crime investigation started half a year later (November 2014) indeed. Various reasons have been given for that. Most recently it appeared that they had their hands full with another investigation… Read more »
Yet a contemporary BBC television report (since removed from public view) had witnesses saying that two Ukrainian fighter planes were tracking the plane that was shot down. That was not uncommon at the time as Ukraine air force planes were in the habit of using passenger planes as cover to attack the rebels.
There was a reason why they removed it. Quality standards? Trustworthiness? Anyway, the sky was overcast. It can be seen on numerous photo’s and video’s that were made immediately after the crash. Also verified by weather reports of that day. Even the Russian Union of Engineers admitted that [overcast sky] in their report. How reliable are “eye witnesses” when interviewed *after* suggestions (and nothing better than that) had been made on [Russian] TV? An objective fact is that no fighter jets have been detected in the radar data that Russia provided in the fall of 2016. Russia has abandoned the… Read more »
Oh, that’s all fine and good but why don’t you tell us again about how Malaysia was in on the investigation from the get go? I could use another chuckle.
Boy, you’re really shootin’ the troll crap today. I suggest you replace your G with a C and bring some truth into advertising.
The problem with the “eye witnesses” is that the sky was overcast. How could they have seen “fighter planes closing on the MH17”? With “official plane” you mean Putin’s? That is one of the conspiracy theories. But Putin’s plane never entered Ukrainian airspace. In fact it “passed” the location where MH17 was downed more than a 1000 kilometers North. The mid-air disintegration andd spreading of debris over 50 sq kilometers and the observed damage can never have been caused by fighter jet weapons. Besides the fighter jets narrative has been dropped by the Russians. Their full weight is on “proving”… Read more »
I’m talking about ‘Rossiya Airline’ planes they were frequently chartered by the Russian Goverment.
It’s really simple, Sherlock. Russia provided a log that showed that the BUK missile’s ID number revealed by the JIT itself had been supplied to Ukraine in the 1980s. That log was totally ignored. An honest investigation would have called for an independent forensic examination of the log, chemical analysis and aging of all the inked entries, etc. It was never called for by the JIT. If it had been faked, which I don’t absolutely preclude, the JIT would have been very eager to show it. They were not.
Why? (I don’t think you need two guesses on this one)
This was really epic, where ever the Ukrainians dug out that BUK debris and presented by JIT’s PR propaganda stunt as ‘Evidence’, the Russians debunked it in detail with all documents since birth of the unit it’s full vita…brilliant but of course mostly ignored by all the combined western fake-news/propaganda/deep-state MSM.
The system works like this. Typically, allegations are ignored but if the evidence becomes too cumbersome and gaining too much traction, then it’s simply paraded before the public as a conspiracy theory and nothing more need be said of it.
It’s quite a transparent approach, even more so these past years, and as Goebbels himself once bragged of, quite effective.
That’s right Watson. Have they handed over their documents for the forensic examination?
Mr. Covert, you astound me. Has the JIT asked? Why not then? Too nervous perhaps? You’re quite a character. Bizarre in an amusing sort of way. Remind me a bit of the loony tunes over at the #IvotedforHillary hashtag. It’s as if they’re in a strange trance or something, like the Manson girls.
But please, tell the folks again how Malaysia was a full participant of the JIT. That one was a real doozy.
Please provide your evidence for this. Or did some taxi driver in Kiev tell a British intelligence agent who was quoted as an ‘authoritative source’ in the Guardian?
It’s enough proof for a CNN reporter, should be enough proof for InfoBrics
My reply disappeared. Here it is again

What is this rubbish that you have written? The original narrative had always been that the plane was downed by a BUK and/or with Sukoi cannon fire which evidently hit the cockpit. There were four Ukrainian BUK batteries in the area that could have shot down the plane, and there is no reason to suggest that the direction from which the missile was shot is inconsistent with the damage done. BUKs are proximity missiles. Your input is rubbish. Who is paying you? As for the coming court case, that will be as rigged as the joke of an investigation has… Read more »
Right… and the first “proximity” for a missile coming from the right would be? What extremely strange manoeuvre would the missile have had to make in its last moments to end and explode so close to the left hand side? This is just one (simple) explanation; there’s obviously much more that proves that the missile came from ahead. Check for instance the DSB report. How do you know the coming court case will be “rigged”? Isn’t that a bit of childish prejudice, just like the question about paiment?
There is nothing childish at all about my position, which began as a neutral essentially pro the western narrative and has steadily come around to the opposite view after watching the whole Maidan coup train-wreck closely from October 2013 onwards. Observing the proceedings to date and their clear bias, and the ignoring and suppression of evidence that has been consistent all of the way through – which includes giving the Kiev government, a prime suspect, the right of veto over any conclusions from the JIT – makes it quite clear that the whole process has been rigged from the start.… Read more »
“Clear bias”? Where is the bias? What “evidence” has been “suppressed”? Obviously investigators do not waste time on “evidence” that clearly is not evidence. I am sure that everything the investigators get will be looked at, but they will not report about it, unless they have some [tactical?] purpose for it. The investigators get a lot that they don’t ask for and a lot of what they [officially] ask for they don’t get. Examples”? It took more than two years before they finally received the radar data from Russia. Information on the serial numbers of the missile? Had officially been… Read more »
You are absolutely full of it, a total waste of time.
He’s about as silly a twit as a mitt full of shit could be.
You’re boring us, son. Don’t you have somebody’s homework to copy about now?
Seriously Govert, How can you ignore the very revelant FACT, that the Kiev Government has right of veto over everything written in this case ????
How the hell can that be interpreted as LEGAL ??? More importantly, when in past history, has such a precedant ever been set in such a manner ? The whole shebang is a crock of shit and set up from the day Dot.
Well, Eddy, like I said, that eternal “veto” discussion is actually very boring. This is about a crime investigation, Eddy. Keyword: CRIME! There is an international crime investigation team, called a “JIT”. They collect evidence for a court case, not for your, or anybody else’s curiosity or pleasure. If you would have studied what a JIT is about in general, you would have checked Eurojust’s website, not propaganda and lies factories like Globalresearch and the likes. You would for instance also have checked the template for a JIT agreement. “Non disclosure” is a standard clause of the agreement between participants… Read more »
Since when is a party that is a prime suspect in any criminal investigation ever given a senior role as an investigator into that crime? That alone in and of itself is ludicrous, but then, as a part of that role, and with them being a prime suspect, to be given the absolute and unfettered right to veto any and all findings should they wish to do so is incomprehensible. It beggars belief that anyone could even begin to consider such a thing a fair and reasonable thing. To consider such a thing equivalent to “Non-disclosure” confirms that you are… Read more »
Since when…? Listen kid, you don’t know what you blah blah about. Ukraine isn’t a (the) “prime suspect”. But even if it was, it still was the legal responsibility of that state to conduct the investigations, simply because it all happened within their borders. Only in this case they have transferred the lead of the investigations to The Netherlands, but they obviously stayed an essential party. Your “veto” bullshit has been discussed sufficiently. Since when…? Well all of a sudden now we have another illustration for your stupidity in the form of the PS752 case. Do you think Iran can… Read more »
So now you engage in deflection/misdirection because you cannot sustain a logical argument? Attempting to change the subject demonstrates the absence of substance in what you have been saying. Whatever happened in Iran is completely irrelevant to MH17. Ukraine had more motive than anyone (other than USA) to ensure that Russians were blamed, that is why they are rightly a prime suspect. You give a good impression of being a paid troll (not a very good one) which seems to be the case. Your bluster about the veto is as empty as everything else you have written.
Your stupidity – played or real – is boring, kid. And so are your baseless allegations. Are you a Russian troll, kid?
You are as tiresome as you are blind. ‘Kid’ – really? That’s your retort? If you are not a paid troll your attempts to counter facts and conclusions that obviously support an alternative narrative paint you as extremely one-eyed at best. Your desire to support slavishly the mainstream narrative with the apparent presumption that other points of view are fundamentally flawed, notwithstanding there being numerous observed, reported and verified facts that support those other points of view, speaks to something unhealthy. Perhaps your fragile world view cannot survive a challenge to the cosy narrative of the ‘good guys in white… Read more »
That is pathetic blahblah.
Great everyone has their point of view and is entitled upon it just that often they lack substance. When I cross examine a witness I look at what I can expose the witness lied about. For example the opponent party claimed to have used GPS to plot photo’s that were taken as prove and might be beyond question, just that I during cross-examine got the witness to admit one of the photo’s actually was not at all of that location. So the unquestionable GPS evidence was no more either. When with 9/11 the alleged planes were flown into the World… Read more »
I read in your document that you are referring to Mr Bociurkiw who was at that time a monitor for the OSCE in the area. He never said that he had seen bullet holes, or even specified them (“30 mm”). He *characterised* the damage that he had seen on a couple of panels as *almost* looked liked if it had been caused by [“very heavy”] machine gun fire. Keyword “ALMOST”. In other words, he clearly used this metaphore to express the severity of the damage. He was by no means an expert (nor did he claim to be) and It… Read more »
The so called confession tapes and the enquiry conclusion do not agree. If the conclusion is correct the confession tapes were constructed. Check out the locations given as the launch site. When do we get to see the evidence John Kerry was so adamant about from the US or the recording from the control tower?
There is no evidence, of anything heard from the town criers of America’s Potemkin Village.
That has been made known to all thinking souls eons ago.
Oh… and when you buy a pre-paid British phone card for your mobile phone (for instance at a British airport), and use it in another country (for instance in Ukraine), the number of that card will be shown to people who get a call. How “suspicious” is that?
As goes the OPCW fakery, so goes the JIT’s. Why should anyone really be surprised?
The first sign of total bogus propaganda stunt was, when ‘BellingCrap’ got involved.
Belching Crap, Brown Noses….his choice of names seems to follow a trend and a trail, straight to a very smelly pail.
He’s paid/funded/employed what ever, by NED, USAID, Atlantic Council, Open Society Foundation….and ‘Highly Likely’ by US/UK Deep-States too……it explains EVERYTHING!
Well, we amply rewarded Rodchenko for one, for saying whatever suited us so I certainly can’t see why the Russians couldn’t have done the same with this Ukrainian insider. (sarcasm off).
PS: Please don’t quote me on this. I have a career to maintain.
I remember some satellite photo’s that showed a BUK site inhabited by Kiev soldiers and there were Israel “volunteers” in command. It seems to be hidden away now. It was very clear photo and showed vodka bottles strewn around the site from the soldiers, known to be drunk a lot. They probably sobered up just long enough to do the deed.
Israelis hobnobbing with Banderites….kind of a stretch but these days, you never know.
Waterboarding Kolomoisky would probably help clear things up.
not really that much of a stretch. (excerpt from a 2014 article) ‘ Chabad Seeks to Re-Build Khazaria in Ukraine ‘ Through his subordinate (the deputy head of Dnipropetrovsk, B. Filatov), Ukrainian oligarch I. Kolomoyski voiced his and Dnepropetrovsk Chabad’s ultimate goal: to build in Ukraine a new state, the promised land (sic), the new Zion. Moreover, on Purim (March 16, 2014; date chosen to hit the Ukrainian Chabad as much as possible), when the autonomy referendum was held in Crimea, Rabbi of Dnepropetrovsk Shmuel Kaminetski said: “We have lived together with the Ukrainians for 1000 years. Ukraine is our… Read more »
False flag MH17 being repeated with the flight to Ukraine today being downed? MOssad ensuring Iran will be dragged into war and allowing US to do the work for them again?
This article is light on information. How was the plane brought down? With a missile or something else? It claims that the West purposely brought it down in collusion with the new Western puppet government of Ukraine. The significance of where the BUK missile is not explained – how would Russia know it WASN’T moved, especially since it was put there in the 1980s?
It’s pretty obvious there’s a coverup with MH-17, but far form certain it was intentionally taken down although it’s possible. I don’t understand how the author draws that conclusion.
Expect ZERO true coverage of this by the US mainstream media.
We never expect less of them.
Expect ZERO true coverage of this by all the combined western Fake-News/Propaganda/Deep-State MSM!!
Who were the “foreign agents” who were said to be in the Kiev air traffic control tower at the time of the shoot down? This was according to Spanish air traffic controller “Carlos” who wrote about it on social media but then disappeared.
‘Disappeared’ like the contemporaneous air traffic control tapes that were immediately taken by the SBU (Ukrainian Intelligence) never to be seen again!
As can be seen at 0:02 to 0:05 in the following video, the skies were _partly cloudy_, at the time MH-17 came down, but you can clearly see that the conditions were such that it would be quite possible to see an airliner AND combat aircraft from the ground. The video also contains multiple eyewitnesses saying that they _did_ see the airliner and fighter jets. What _nobody_ saw or photographed was the lingering smoke trail that is always visible during, and for several minutes after, a BUK launch. Furthermore, there are multiple photographs showing 30 mm circular holes in the… Read more »
