Separatist Tanks and Troops at MH17 Crash Site Ahead of Anniversary

On the eve of the first anniversary marking the Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 tragedy, tanks and troops from the Donetsk People’s Republic (DNR) rebel group could be seen maneuvering at the crash site near Hrabove, in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine. The pro-Russian separatist group has been in control of the area since the plane was downed on July 17 2014, killing 298 people.
