Moscow faces the prospect of an acrimonious legal standoff with the west after an international investigation concluded that a Buk missile brought across the border from Russia had shot down flight MH17. The Buk came from Russian territory into eastern Ukraine and was later transported on a white Volvo truck. Around 100 people have been identified who can be linked to the downing of MH17 or the transport of the Buk. Fragments of the Buk missile were found in the bodies of MH17’s pilot and crew during autopsies. A twisted piece of metal from the missile shot “with great force” was recovered from the cockpit window.
