Well, Hillary Clinton called RT "instructive"...

But seriously, of course you are right. However, when RT 
reports that the Russian Defense Ministry has stated that 
there were Ukrainian BUK batteries stationed in the 
region, it seems reasonable to assume that the Russian 
Defense Ministry has stated that there were BUK batteries 
stationed in the region, no?

Both the U.S. and Russia know whether this is true or not. 
If the U.S. has not contradicted the statement of the 
Russian Defense Ministry I take it to be true. Statements 
of the government in Kiev can confidently be ignored.

Over Ukrainian airspace? Perhaps. Then Russia would be to 
blame, no?

I completely agree.
