I truly hope that this is just big talks and not an advance coverup for another MH17

The DPR does not rule out provocations against passenger aircraft by the Armed Forces of Ukraine

DONETSK, February 22. /TASS/. Intelligence of the People's Militia of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) has data on the movement of regiments of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which are armed with S-300 and BUK-M1 complexes in the areas of the airports of Kiev, Kharkov and Cherkasy, and therefore do not exclude provocations against passenger aircraft. This was announced on Tuesday by the deputy head of the People's Militia Department of the DPR, Eduard Basurin.

"Our intelligence records the movement of columns of units of Ukrainian anti-aircraft missile regiments, which are armed with S-300 and BUK-M1 complexes, and the occupation of starting positions in the areas of international airports in the cities of Kiev, Kharkov and Cherkassy. We do not exclude a planned provocation against passenger aircraft" , he said.

Basurin added that "against this background, the decision of a number of states to stop air traffic over the territory of Ukraine looks reasonable and prudent, which will help to avoid human casualties and the repetition of tragedies with the crash of civilian airliners."
