One of the leaders of the pro-Russian separatists admitted on Wednesday that a rebel group did have the anti-aircraft missiles that the US believes was used to shoot down flight MH17 and suggested that the missiles have since been sent back to Russia.

In comments that came close to an admission of guilt, Alexander Khodakovsky also said that the Ukrainian government had ?provoked? the crash because it flew fighter jets near to the missile system.

Asked about responsibility for the plane crash, he said: ?The question is this: Ukraine received timely evidence that the volunteers have this technology.? He added: ?It [Ukraine] not only did nothing to protect security, but provoked the use of this type of weapon against a plane that was flying with peaceful civilians.?

In an interview with Reuters, Mr Khodakovsky, who leads a group known as the Vostok Battalion, said that another section of pro-Russian rebels were in possession last week of the BUK missile system. ?I found out about it at exactly the moment that I found out that this tragedy had taken place. They probably sent it back in order to remove proof of its presence,? he was quoted as saying.
Mr Khodakovsky?s comments come after Ukraine said two of its ground attack planes shot down on Wednesday in the east of the country not far from where Flight MH17 was downed may have been hit by missiles fired from within Russian territory. Andriy Lysenko, a spokesman for the Ukrainian National Security Council, said two Su-25s had crashed near Saur-Mogila after being shot down at a height of more than 5,000m.They were not downed by terrorists,? said Mr Lysenko, using the term the Kiev government uses for pro-Russian separatists. ?According to our preliminary information it was done from across the border.?
