The original BBC Video Report was published by BBC Russian Service on July 23, 2014.

In a bitter irony, The BBC is censoring its own news productions.

Why did BBC delete this report by Olga Ivshina?

Is it because the BBC team was unable to find any evidence that a rocket was launched in
the area that the Ukrainian Security Service (“SBU”) alleges to be the place from which
the Novorossiya Militia launched a “BUK” missile?

Or is it because every eyewitness interviewed by the BBC team specifically indicated the
presence of a Ukrainian military aircraft right beside the Malaysian Airlines Boeing MH17
at the time that it was shot down?

Or is it because of eyewitness accounts confirming that the Ukrainian air force regularly
used civilian aircraft flying over Novorossiya as human shields to protect its military
aircraft conducting strikes against the civilian population from the Militia’s
anti-aircraft units?

Highlights of Witness statements (see complete transcript below)

Eyewitness #1: There were two explosions in the air. And this is how it broke apart. And
[the fragments] blew apart like this, to the sides. And when ...

Eyewitness #2: ... And there was another aircraft, a military one, beside it. Everybody
saw it.

Eyewitness #1: Yes, yes. It was flying under it, because it could be seen. It was
proceeding underneath, below the civilian one.

Eyewitness #3: There were sounds of an explosion. But they were in the sky. They came from
the sky. Then this plane made a sharp turn-around like this. It changed its trajectory and
headed in that direction [indicating the direction with her hands].

Intro of BBC Report (For Full Transcript see below)

The “black boxes” of the crashed Malaysian Boeing have finally been transferred into the
hands of the experts. However, how much can they tell us?

The recorders logged the coordinates and the heading of the aircraft at the time of the
incident and may have recorded the sound of the explosion. However, they will not tell us
what exactly caused the explosion.

The inhabitants of the nearby villages are certain that they saw military aircraft in the
sky shortly prior to the catastrophe. According to them, it actually was the jet fighters
that brought down the Boeing.

The Ukrainian government rejects this version of events. They believe that the Boeing was
shot down using a missile from a “BUK” complex that came in from Russia.

The Ukrainian Security Service has published photographs and a video, which, in its
opinion, prove that the Boeing was shot down with a “BUK” missile.

BBC reporter Olga Ivshina and producer Oksana Vozhdayeva decided to find the place from
which the missile was allegedly launched.

Transcript of the BBC Video Report
DPR Representative: Here it is.

Olga Ivshina, BBC: The black boxes from the crashed Boeing are finally being transferred
into the hands of the experts. However, how much can they tell us?

The recorders logged the coordinates and the heading of the aircraft at the time of the
incident and may have recorded the sound of the explosion. However, they will not tell us
what exactly caused the explosion.

The inhabitants of the nearby villages are certain that they saw military aircraft in the
sky shortly prior to the catastrophe. According to them, it actually was the jet fighters
that brought down the Boeing.

Eyewitness #1: There were two explosions in the air. And this is how it broke apart. And
[the fragments] blew apart like this, to the sides. And when ...

Eyewitness #2: ... And there was another aircraft, a military one, beside it. Everybody
saw it.

Eyewitness #1: Yes, yes. It was flying under it, because it could be seen. It was
proceeding underneath, below the civilian one.

Eyewitness #3: There were sounds of an explosion. But they were in the sky. They came from
the sky. Then this plane made a sharp turn-around like this. It changed its trajectory and
headed in that direction [indicating the direction with her hands].

Olga Ivshina, BBC: The Ukrainian government rejects this version of events. They believe
that the Boeing was shot down using a missile from a “BUK” complex that came in from the
direction of Russia.

Vitaliy Naida, Department of Counterintelligence of SBU [Ukrainian Security Service]: This
was a BUK M1 system from which the aircraft was shot down. It came to Ukraine early in the
morning on the 17th of July. It was delivered by a tow truck to the city of Donetsk. After
that, it was redeployed from Donetsk, as part of a column of military equipment, to the
area of the city of Torez, to the area of Snezhnoye, to the area of Pervomaisk.

Olga Ivshina, BBC: The Ukrainian Security Service has published photographs and a video,
which, in its opinion, prove that the Boeing was shot down with a “BUK” missile. We
attempted to verify these photographs and information at the location.

One of the photographs showed a landscape not far from the city of Torez, on which smoke
could be seen coming from the presumed location of the missile’s launch. We attempted to
find this location, and it appears that we were successful.

We are now on the outskirts of the city of Torez. Behind me, approximately five kilometres
away, is the city of Snezhnoye. And the landscape here matches the landscape that we can
see on the photograph published by the Ukrainian Security Service.

To find the place from which the smoke was allegedly coming from, we adopted as markers
these three poplars and the group of trees. Presumably, this is the place that can be seen
on the photograph published by the SBU. And here are our markers: the three solitary
poplars and the small group of trees in the distance.

The smoke that can be seen on the photograph came from somewhere over there [pointing
behind her], behind my back. The SBU believes that this is a trace coming from the launch
of a “BUK” missile.

However, it must be noted that there are here, approximately in the same place, the
Saur-Mogila memorial, near which the fighting continues almost unabated, and a coalmine.
It turns out that the smoke with the same degree of probability could have been coming
from any of these locations.

Having circled around the nearby fields, we were unable to find any traces of a missile
launch. Nor did the local inhabitants that we encountered see any “BUK” either.

At the ruins of an apartment building in the city of Snezhnoye, the topic of the jet
fighters that may have been escorting civilian aircraft comes up again. A bomb dropped
from above took away the lives of eleven civilians here.

Sergey Godovanets, Commander of the Militia of the city of Snezhnoye: They use these
civilian aircraft to hide behind them. It is only now that they stopped flying over us –
but, usually, civilian aircraft would always fly above us. And they hide [behind them].
[The experience in] Slavyansk had demonstrated that they would fly out from behind a
civilian aircraft, bomb away, and then hide, once again, behind the civilian aircraft and
fly away.

Olga Ivshina, BBC: The commander of the local militia emphasizes that they have no
weaponry capable of shooting down a jet fighter [flying] at a significant height. However,
he says that if such weaponry were to appear, they would have tried to.

Sergey Godovanets: If we know that it is not a civilian aircraft, but a military one, then
– yes.

Olga Ivshina, BBC: So, could the Boeing have been shot down by the militias that had
mistaken it for a military aircraft? There is as yet no unequivocal confirmation of either
this or any other version [of what took place]. The international experts are just
beginning their work with the information obtained from the crashed airliner. It now
appears that it is difficult to overstate the importance of this investigation. Olga
Ivshina, BBC.
