Yes, the ethnic Russian separatist must be specially bad to have accidentally shot down a commercial passenger plane that directly overflew a warzone.

Except the USA also accidentally shot down a commercial passenger plane in 1988, and the Ukrainian army also accidentally shot down a commercial passenger plane in 2001.

And the warzone is a tiny part of Ukraine.
It would have been common sense and easy to avoid.
They are now, but it’s it scandal they weren’t before.
Even the Malaysian flight crew protested the route beforehand, some switched shifts out of worry, and most airlines avoided it by policy.

Because the separatists are unusually bad people?

No, because it is idiocy to directly overfly a warzone where military planes have recently been shot down.

Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is an international war crime. All of the murderous acts made in support of Putin’s war of aggression are crimes against peace by the genocidal Putin regime.
