I'm sick and tired of the one-sided reporting and the enormous double standard, especially since we're dealing with flight safety here, and not with politics!
Indeed, but unfortunately, "biased approach" can't be eliminated by blaming all sides equally.
Just like you can't establish which is correct - a religious text or Special Relativity theory by offering them both equal chances of being correct.

1. Ukrainians knew that there was no WORKING BUK that the separatists could have used based on the fact that they obtained a BROKEN piece of the system that was incapable of firing. Subsequent analysis of videos and images showed that that BUK that shot down the plane, was transported FROM Russia and then towed back immediately after the shot down. Ukraine didn't have that information at that time.

In short, there was no data back then, indicating that "separatists" did obtain capabilities for shooting down planes at or above 12000 feet.
This logic of yours is flawed. Lets say Putin decides to add to that "separatists" arsenal several C400 which have range of 400 km and then something gets shot down with that over Moldova. Would you still blame Moldova for not closing airspace or would you blame those who offered, obtained and used the weapon?

Your logic reminds me of one that people (which KGB called useful idiots) demonstrate...
