The only thing we know for sure is that somebody pressed a button. Here's what Russia, Ukraine and America are saying about the radar-guided surface to air missiles that killed 298 civilians. Someone is lying.
Let's follow a chronological order here, using the best source I could find thanks to the help of , who pointed me towards Ukrainian :

Somebody is clearly lying. The plane was shot down, and it was shot down by SAM missiles. But who is it?
From where I'm sitting, 200 miles from the Ukrainian border, I would bet on Putin's crew missing a few missiles. Also, supports the Buk missile theory.
In other, totally confirmed news, the United Nations can't do much about Russia even if they are responsible for the tragedy, since Russia has in the Security Council. That's the beauty of the international community, right there.
