"As a matter of fact, Ukraine has not published any information on the position or the launch site of the missile. If it was a Buk, it probably would have been launched from territory under the control of the Ukrainian military."

"As part of the Joint Investigation Team, Ukraine openly refuses to provide the data while trying to manipulate the investigation process with false leads, such as contradictory information on the shrapnel, the wrong missile system, and even the wrong launch site."

Newly discovered data picked up by a Russian civilian radar station on the day of the Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 crash shows no signs of a missile being fired at the aircraft from territory controlled by opposition forces in eastern Ukraine, the Russian defense ministry said at a media briefing in Moscow on Monday.
Moscow further accused Kiev of concealing information that would have helped determine the full picture of the MH17 crash in Ukraine on July 17, 2014.
The existence of the raw data, which includes radar images of air traffic movements seen in the airspace over eastern Ukraine on the day the Boeing 777 jet was downed, was announced last week by Russia's state-owned Almaz-Antey, the producer of the Buk missile system. An international investigation into the crash believes the system to have been fired from the opposition-controlled village of Snezhnoye in eastern Ukraine.
Lianozovsky Electromechanical Plant, the producer of the Utyos-T civilian radar station, presented the radar data at Monday's briefing. It showed three civilian aircraft in the vicinity, including the MH17. The craft closest to it was flying about 30 kilometers from the Malaysian plane at the time it was shot down.
Viktor Meshcheryakov, the company's chief radar designer, said one of their Utyos-T radars picked up no foreign objects near the Malaysian flight which could have caused its crash.
"Aside from the two civilian aircraft, No. 1775 and 4722, no other foreign objects have been detected in the vicinity of the Malaysian flight. The radar picked up the first civilian aircraft before the crash. And at the time of the crash, the second civilian aircraft was flying 30 kilometers from the Malaysian flight. The radar picked up no other foreign objects at that time," he said.
General Andrey Koban, head of the Russian Air Forces' radar troops, also said that had MH17 been downed with a missile launched from any area in eastern Ukraine, it would have been identified by Russian radar systems.
He said the Ukrainian side has the information on the air situation surrounding the crash both from civilian and military sources, adding that the fact that Kiev has not made the radar data public leads to the conjecture that the missile, if it was a Buk, was launched from the territory controlled by the Ukrainian military.
"As a matter of fact, Ukraine has not published any information on the position or the launch site of the missile. If it was a Buk, it probably would have been launched from territory under the control of the Ukrainian military," said Koban.
Igori Konashenkov, spokesperson for the Russian Defense Ministry, also accused Kiev of hiding its radar data, adding that it resembles the way Ukraine acted after it shot down a Russian commercial plane in 2001, killing 78.
"As part of the Joint Investigation Team, Ukraine openly refuses to provide the data while trying to manipulate the investigation process with false leads, such as contradictory information on the shrapnel, the wrong missile system, and even the wrong launch site," said Konashenkov.
Konashenkov added that Russia will present the raw radar data to the Netherlands, which is leading the Joint Investigation Team that is due to reveal the first results of its probe on Wednesday.
The tragedy of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17, en route from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, claimed 298 lives and escalated the crisis in Ukraine which started in April 2014 after local armed forces took over towns in the country's industrial east.
