Updated

The investigative website Bellingcat.com, which uses open sources and social networks to collect evidence related to the downing of flight MH17 in Donbas in July 2014, has spotted a possible organizer of the transportation of the Buk missile launcher, which shot down the Malaysian passenger plane, claiming it was Russian General-Major Sergey Dubinsky.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UAA1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dubinsky is also known as a fighter of the "armed forces" of the so-called "Donetsk People's Republic" ("DPR") whose nom de guerre is "Khmuryi" ('Gloomy' or 'Grumpy'), Bellingcat said in a new report.

According to experts, the relocation of the Buk was arranged by personnel of the 69th separate logistics brigade of the Russian Armed Forces. Such conclusions were made by Bellingcat experts after they had examined images from social networks that were taken in Rostov region amid the transportation of the missile system.

The Bellingcat group has prepared two reports with new details about the MH17 case. One of the reports features "Khmuryi," the other will not be published as it contains information that may derail the investigation.
