Russian Roulette (Dispatch 87)

VICE News correspondent Simon Ostrovsky traveled to the site of the MH17 crash, where Dutch investigators continue to attempt to piece together what really happened on July 17.

In the absence of an official determination, pro-Russia separatists and the Ukrainian government are putting out their own theories.
