Advisor to Ukraine president talks nonsense about BUK missile
In a war both parties lie. It is as simple as that. Press is being misused and mislead by governments. There are many examples of Russian lies but Ukraine government has some examples of clear lies as well.
Take for example the June 4 statement of the advisor of the president of Ukraine published in this article titled ‘Ukraine sold last Buk rocket to Georgia long before MH17 crash – Poroshenko’s advisor‘. Same message reported by 24today.ua
“A Buk rocket from Ukrainian military warehouses could not have been used to strike a Malaysia Airlines’ Boeing passenger jet on the MH17 flight, which was shot down over Ukraine, says Ihor Smeshko, an advisor to the Ukrainian president.
“As far as I know, Ukraine sold its last Buk to Georgia,” he told a security conference in Brussels on June 4″
If a BUK system or the 9M38M1 missile is meant is unclear. Either way the statement is a lie.
This denial was a response to the June 2 pressconference of Almaz Antey. The maker of the BUK systems said that MH17 was hit by a 9M38M1 missile. That missile has been out of production but Ukraine still has many operational. The company did not say it explicitly but it clearly meant Ukraine was responsible for downing MH17.
The 9M38M1 missile is easy to recognize. It has long vins compared to the newer 9M317 missile.
The advisor of the president of Ukraine in response to the Almaz pressconference stated Ukraine does not operate the 9M38M1 missile (or BUK).
This is complete nonsense. People only have to do a Google search on “Ukraine BUK 312” and you will see some recent videos and photos of Ukraine BUK TELAR systems carrying 9M38M1 missiles.
For example in the video below. Bellingcat shows some recent photos here.

This is an comparison BUK / S-200:

Are these cross-like holes (pic 1 & 4) at MH17?
Pic 6 shows the S-200 damage at TU-154.
Why S-200 / S-300 is not in discussion?
The BUK theory has still the problem, that nobody can report the rocket start. I mean, there were many figthing people in the area.
