Commenting on the results of the investigation into Malaysian Airlines Boeing crash in the east of Ukraine President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko underlined that it has been shot down Russia-occupied territory of Donbas using the Russian weapon.
"The missile was launched from the territory occupied by Russians," the president said during his working trip to Luhansk region on Tuesday.
Besides, the president stressed the jetliner sustained an attack of Russian Buk surface-to-air missile.
