Original Note:
While evidence points to involvement of Russian-backed separatists and use of a Buk missile system, there is no concrete proof of this. attributing responsibility for the incident to "Russia" as well as using the term "murder" in a legal sense involves a higher burden of proof. https://www.scmp.com/news/world/article/3209542/mh17-international-team-suspends-investigation-planes-downing-cites-insufficient-evidence?module=perpetual_scroll_0&pgtype=article&campaign=3209542
