Ukrainian security services have asserted that they had intercepted a transcript of two phone calls whereby they heard pro-Russian separatists admitting to having shot down an aircraft.
The transcript of phone call was made immediately after the Malaysian plane MH17 was shot down in Eastern Ukraine, reports News.com.au.
A pro-Russian rebel, a Russian minister and a Russian intelligence officer were reportedly the partakers in the phone calls.

According to reports, the crash seemed to have come as a result of a Russian separatist movement.
