    "Chances are pretty high that plane was shot down by russian separatists. In the last 2 months they have shot down several Ukrainian Air Forces planes, including 2 AN-26s (one was carrying 46 servicemen) and one AN-30 and over a dozen ukrainian Mi-8 military helicopters.
    And it was flying right above Torez-Shakhtyorsk, one of the russian separatist hotspots" - from Reddit

    Apparently one of these BUK SAM missiles brought it down.

    So sad, I haven't been following the Ukrainian-Russian issues recently. I had thought that things were slowly dying down but that may just be me not seeing it on the news. Does anyone think this will be a pivotal moment in the conflict? We just implemented new sanctions on Russia last night.

    I'm guessing- if ever- I sincerely hope not - a Russia-China-NoKor alliance v. the world will start WWIII.
