statement balas dr Ukraine psl military plane dia org yg disyaki terbang dekat dgn MH17
Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko denies a claim by Russia's defense ministry that a Ukrainian warplane flew near MH17 at the time of the crash. Poroshenko tells CNN that "this is not true", that the area was being surveilled at the time, and that his government would be open to any investigation on the issue. "Everybody knows that in this period of time … all Ukrainian planes were on the ground [near Grabovo, where the plane crashed.]" Russia's defense ministry held a briefing earlier Monday in which it made several claims and suggested they could possibly explain how and why MH17 was shot down. First among these claims was that a Ukrainian fighter jet, a Su-25, was in the area. Another scenario involved the passenger plane straying from its flight plan. The air force general, Andrei Karatolov, did not directly accuse Ukraine of shooting down MH17.
