Reuters: Ukrainian rebel leader confirmed separatists had Buk

Ukrainian rebel leader Alexander Khodakovsky told Reuters that pro-Russian separatists did possess the Buk air defense system.

“I knew that a BUK came from Luhansk. At the time I was told that a BUK from Luhansk was coming under the flag of the LNR,” he said, referring to the Luhansk People’s Republic.

He added that the Buk missile may have been sent back to Russia.
