MOSCOW (AP) — Russian President Vladmir Putin says Ukraine bears responsibility for the crash of a Malaysian airliner.
A Kremlin statement early Friday said Putin opened a meeting with his economic advisers by calling for a moment of silence over the crash.
Then, he said, “This tragedy would not have happened if there were peace on this land, if the military actions had not been renewed in southeast Ukraine. And, certainly, the state over whose territory this occurred bears responsibility for this awful tragedy.”

Putin bears all responsibility for this.
Wow - surprised he didn’t blame the passengers for being on the plane.
If it turns out it was the Russian separatists in Ukraine, as various social media posts at least imply might be the case, then Vladi just bought himself a very, very expensive Crimean peninsula. Worldwide castigation.
It’s not my fault. Your attempt to protect your sovereign land provoked me.
So the rape victim is to blame by Putin logic.
