Satellite photos of flight MH17 – level 2

20-11-2014 15:00

A Russian state TV channel broadcast satellite images of flight MH17. It shows the civil airplane and a jet fighter. The Russians say that this is proof that the jet fighter destroyed the plane.
Ukraine said that the pictures are fake. Ukraine said that Russia is trying to influence people in its country as well as abroad.

Difficult words: broadcast (to send by radio or television), proof (something which says that something must be/cannot be true), influence (when you influence somebody, you change what they think).

You can read the original story and watch the video in the Level 3 section.

Do you trust Ukraine or Russia?
