Ukrainian forces have destroyed a Tu-95 strategic bomber in a missile strike on Engles Airfield overnight the same plane was reportedly being used to bomb Ukraine.
On this day in 2014, a Russian Buk shot down a passenger aircraft MH17 flying at 10 km from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur over Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine.
All 283 passengers and 15 crew were killed.
On July 17, 2014, Russian-backed forces shot down a Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 operating Flight MH17 from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur.
The aircraft crashed in the Donetsk region, which was occupied by Russia. All 298 people on board were killed.
The Dutch-led Joint Investigation Team established that the plane was brought down by a Buk missile system belonging to the 53rd Anti-Aircraft Missile Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces, based in Kursk.
For 12 years, Russia has continued to deny responsibility. The three men convicted by a Dutch court remain in Russia, which has refused to extradite them to serve their sentences.
Ukraine extends its deepest condolences to the families of the victims. Time cannot diminish the pain of this loss.

Op 17 juli 2014 schoten door Rusland gesteunde troepen een Boeing 777 van Malaysia Airlines neer, die vlucht MH17 uitvoerde van Amsterdam naar Kuala Lumpur. Het toestel stortte neer in de regio Donetsk, die door Rusland werd bezet. Alle 298 mensen aan boord kwamen om het leven.
Het door Nederland geleide Joint Investigation Team stelde vast dat het vliegtuig was neergehaald met een Buk-raketsysteem dat toebehoorde aan de 53e Luchtafweerraket Brigade van de Russische strijdkrachten, gestationeerd in Koersk.
Rusland ontkent al twaalf jaar elke verantwoordelijkheid. De drie mannen die door een Nederlandse rechtbank zijn veroordeeld, verblijven nog steeds in Rusland, dat heeft geweigerd hen uit te leveren zodat zij hun straf kunnen uitzitten.
Oekraïne betuigt zijn diepste medeleven aan de families van de slachtoffers. De tijd kan de pijn van dit verlies niet verzachten.

Just a week ago @CaolanReports literally got a medal from Zelensky in person and yet, he also says to listen to Ukrainians and respect their unsatisfactory with their president.
Respect to Caolan for his integrity
I’ve seen some Fellas telling Ukrainians that they are wrong.
Don’t do that.
We came here to support the Ukrainian people.
Not one man.
I love Zelenskyy.
He is a great man.
But even great men make mistakes.
Churchill made a bunch of ‘em.
It doesn’t change his legacy.
12 years ago, russians shot down Flight MH17 over Ukraine.
298 innocent people were murdered. 80 of them were children.
Twelve years later, russia is still murdering civilians every single day.
Remember MH17. Demand justice. Never normalize russian terror.
Yes, those photos you’ve seen are real.
More than 18 years ago, a baby named Lamine Yamal and his mom Sheila met Lionel Messi at a UNICEF fundraising photoshoot.
Today, their achievements on the pitch inspire millions. Off the pitch, both Messi and Lamine Yamal use their voices and platforms as UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors to support and advocate for children around the world.
The goal? That every child survives, thrives, and fulfils their potential.
We are proud to have them on our team.

A new level of russian terror.
Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) says russia has used Geran-2 drones equipped with R-60M missile warheads containing depleted uranium.
Following two attacks on Sumy region, investigators recorded radiation levels of 8.3 and 10.5 μSv/h at the impact sites—well above natural background levels.
How many more red lines will the world ignore?
На вечір люди знову зібралися на мітинги проти відставки Михайла Федорова.
Протести проходять у Києві, Львові, Франківську, Луцьку, Харкові, Полтаві, Чернігові, Одесі.
Українці скандують «Сирського геть».
Ветеран Дмитро Козятинський написав, що не можна лишати Сирського та закликав усіх завтра відкласти справи та о 20:00 вийти по максимуму.

I have been filled with admiration for Ukrainian civil society since I witnessed it first hand at the renewal of independence, the Orange Revolution and the Revolution of Dignity.
Crowds are still out in Kyiv, into the night, protesting Zelenskyy's unwise removal of Fedorov.
На жаль, людей не почули. Ані цивільних, ані військових, які гучно говорили про потребу реальних змін у армії. Залишили головкома, який плете інтриги та зробив зі штурмових полків особисту міні армію.
Керівництво держави не говорить із суспільством, і це робить ситуацію ще гіршою.
Зараз у них стратегія — перечекати. Вони думають, що ми попротестуємо і розійдемося.
Вони помиляються, так само як і тоді, коли Сирський вирішив, що можна всім закрити рота і знищити останні надії на трансформацію війська.
Зараз важливо показати нашу максимальну увагу та залученість!!!
Відкладіть усі справи.
Перенесіть все, що планували на вечір пʼятниці.
Побачимося завтра, у пʼятницю, о 20:00 там же — на площі Франка. Виходьте і у своїх містах.
До зустрічі!
Russians and their sycophants are watching in disbelief as Ukraine manages to hold anti-corruption protests and kick their ass at the same time. While Ukrainians protest during a war, Russians complain about gasoline while continuing to grovel before the oligarchs in Moscow.
