1. Blocked a UN resolution for international tribunal into the shootdown: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-33710088
2. Hacked the servers of the JIT to compromise the investigation: http://www.nltimes.nl/2015/10/23/pro-russia-hackers-targeted-dutch-mh17-investigators/
3. Have now openly admitted they fabricated their original radar data on the day of the incident: https://www.bellingcat.com/news/uk-and-europe/2016/09/26/russian-defence-ministry-presents-evidence-faked-previous-mh17-evidence/
These are really odd actions for a nation to undertake if they are truly blameless in this situation, wouldn't you say?
