MH17: Rebels don’t have military system to take down aircraft, says Russian ambassador


KUALA LUMPUR: The Russian ambassador to Malaysia said it is not fair to squarely blame the pro-Russian separatists on shooting down of MH17 that killed 298 people on board.

Its envoy Lyudmila G Vorobyeva (pic) said she was convinced that the rebels did not do it as they were not armed with sophisticated military system or possessed "any means" to do it.
