Secretary of State John Kerry on Sunday said that evidence gathered on activity in Ukraine before, during and after the Malaysian plane was shot down over eastern Ukraine points to pro-Russian separatists.
“It obviously points very clear finger at the separatists,” Kerry said on CNN’s “State of the Union” about evidence collected thus far about the plane.
Kerry said that “we know for certain” that separatists were trained by Russians to use missiles, and that they had a system on Monday. And “within hours” of when the plane was shot down, a missile system passed through two towns near the crash site.
He stopped short of blaming Russia, however. When host Candy Crowley asked if Russia and Vladimir Putin were “culpable” in shooting down the plane, Kerry said that “people can make their own judgements about what they read here.”
He did say that this is a “wake up call” for Europe to join in U.S. sanctions against Russia.
Separatists have also been interfering with evidence, Kerry said. He told CNN they have removed parts of the plane and have been piling bodies in an unceremonious way.
Now the dance has officially begun.

Yeah, but – and no pun intended – who’s going to lead? The EU has to get involved here! There was a shitload of their citizens on that plane, and the rebels just grabbed all the bodies at gunpoint and took them away. Merkel and Cameron better jump to it, and right now!
That means they know. And yes, EU must lead.
“It obviously points very clear finger at the separatists,” Kerry said
I thought SoS Clinton already cleared that up three days ago.
Could you possibly get off your hobby horse and join the real world for a minute? Bernie Sanders ain’t solving this problem any time soon!
