The Malaysian Airlines plane crashed near the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk while en route from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur on July 17, 2014. All 298 people on board, mostly Dutch citizens, were killed. The tragedy happened amid a military conflict in eastern Ukraine, with Kiev forces and independence supporters blaming each other for downing the plane.
According to Russian air defense systems producer Almaz-Antey, which conducted its own probe into the Malaysian Airlines Boeing 777 crash, the plane was downed from territory near the settlement of Zaroschenskoye, under the control of Kiev-led forces at the time of the crash.
