There was no conclusion if it was programmed to work over Smolensk North.
There is a clear conclusion, that it wasn't.

Would have FMS been programmed for landing in Smolensk and Smolensk
put correctly manually into the FMS database, it would have not screamed
PULL UP and TRRAIN, at least not that early in the flight.

It was clearly stated in the report, that the PNF was responsible for
programming the FMS and he did it in a wrong way.

Not only wrong coordinates (based on Russian map),
but also wrong description in the database.
