What we know doesn't seem to amount to much yet, sadly, if we disregard the he said / she said.
However, US Secretary of State John Kerry has said there is overwhelming evidence of Russian complicity in the incident
Until evidence is presented, this is no more credible than the overwhelming evidence of WMD in Iraq and of Assad being behind the sarin attacks.
Russia denies the claims.
Likewise, not credible. They would say this anyway.
Ukrainian authorities earlier released a recording they claimed was a conversation between pro-Russian militants admitting to shooting down the plane.
And this is also quite meaningless, as of now, because of the accuser is basically at war with the accused.
Incidentally I wonder if these militants are less pro-Russian than they are anti-Kiev (post coup).
Meanwhile, though, there are at least some relatively positive developments:
Pro-Russian separatists say they have found the plane's "black box" flight recorders and have agreed to hand them over to Malaysian investigators who are in Ukraine.
Dutch forensic scientists have also arrived to start work on identifying bodies.
