War nun doch ein ukrainischer Jet auf einem ähnlichen Kurs wie MH17? - QUESTION: Secondly, I’m not sure that – I know that there were some suggestions that the Ukrainian fighter plane shot down this – with a missile, but the -- MS. HARF: So the Russians have basically had a couple of alternative explanations. QUESTION: Right. MS. HARF: There was the Ukrainian fighter jet. I think we – the intelligence community went to great lengths yesterday to show why that’s not the case. The other – one of the other things they said was that it was a Ukrainian SA-11 system that the Ukrainians had fired. Again, I think they made very clear why that’s not also the case. QUESTION: But the theory that – or the – I don’t know what you would – the suggestion isn’t necessarily that the Ukrainian jet – I mean, you have – you’ve discovered that the Ukrainian jet was in the vicinity, but it was not capable of shooting (inaudible) down -- MS. HARF: No, I can’t confirm that there was even a Ukrainian – we have no confirmation that I have seen that there was a Ukrainian jet. QUESTION: Oh, that there was even -- MS. HARF: I’m not saying there wasn’t. I just can’t confirm it. QUESTION: Right. MS. HARF: But regardless, the notion that this kind of Ukrainian jet the Russians are talking about could have done this with the kind of missile and the kind of debris we’ve seen – it just doesn’t match up. QUESTION: Because I think the suggestion is that whoever fired this missile may have been shooting for that plane, like what we saw today in terms of a shoot-down. MS. HARF: Which in no way makes it better. QUESTION: Well, I’m not saying it does. I’m not saying it does at all, but it’s not -- MS. HARF: And I don’t know what the intentions are of whoever was on the ground pushing the button. I don’t. QUESTION: And the last thing about this -- MS. HARF: Clearly – well clearly, I know the intentions were to launch a sophisticated missile and to kill people. Whether those – they were trying to kill Ukrainian military officers or civilians, we’re still waiting to find out. QUESTION: I – yeah, okay. I’m not arguing that one is better than the other. MS. HARF: Okay. I know. QUESTION: I’m not saying that. MS. HARF: Just responding to your question. - Dieses Briefing fand bereits vor fast einer Woche statt. state.gov/r/pa/prs/dpb/2014/07/229681.htm#UKRAINE
