If the Ukrainian military knew about the possible use of the system " Buk " in the South-East of the country, they were obliged to inform about It and aircraft flying over the area, said the head of Federal air transport Agency Alexander Neradko.

" If we assume that with arms forces of Ukraine knew about the possibility of using military means of destruction of civil aircraft at high altitude with use of system " Buk ", they were obliged to commit the relevant radar, as It was the Russian armed forces, " said Neradko correspondents on the last working day of the week.
