All 298 onboard died.

Here were Russians posing at the wreckage. A Russian FSB officer, Igor Girkin, who led death squads in the Donbas was one of the men responsible for the attack. Intercepted phone calls confirmed that Putin was involved in the transfer of the anti-aircraft system that downed the plane.

It is a good reminder of Russian disinformation campaigns. Russia sowed confusion about who was responsible and denied involvement.
