1. 坠机发生之后，乌克兰当局立即将此事归咎于东部民间武装。这些指控的依据何在？

3. 乌克兰当局为何不采取措施筹建国际调查委员会？调查委员会何时能开始工作？

7. Why was airspace over the warzone not closed for civilian flights, especially since the area was not entirely covered by radar navigation systems?
7. 作战区域为何没有对民航飞机实行禁飞，尤其是在该地区未被雷达导航系统完全覆盖的情况下？

8. 一名据称在乌克兰工作的西班牙空管人员在社交网站上表示，当时有两架乌克兰军用飞机在乌克兰领空与波音777并排飞行，乌克兰当局如何就这样的报道发表评论？
9. Why did Ukraine’s Security Service start working with the recordings of communications between Ukrainian air traffic controllers and the Boeing crew and with the data storage systems from Ukrainian radars without waiting for international investigators?
9. 乌克兰国家安全委员会为何在国际调查员未到场的情况下，就着手处理乌克兰空管人员与波音机组人员的对话录音以及乌克兰雷达的数据存储系统？
10. What lessons has Ukraine learned from a similar incident in 2001, when a Russian Tu-154 crashed into the Black Sea? Back then, the Ukrainian authorities denied any involvement on the part of Ukraine’s Armed Forces until irrefutable evidence proved official Kiev to be guilty.
10. 2001年一架俄罗斯图-154客机在黑海上空被击落，当时乌克兰当局直至最后确切证据出现，一直都否认乌克兰军方与事件有关，乌克兰从这起相似的事件中吸取了什么教训？
