The Head of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) Alexander Zakharchenko said that the responsibility for the collapse of the Malaysian "Boeing" in Donbass in July 2014 lies with Ukraine. He stated it during his press conference in Donetsk.

‘We did not down the Boeing. All the responsibility is on Ukraine, for both what he did and for allowing the flight,’ said Zakharchenko.
