#DisinfoReview: Time for the ninth MH17 disinformation round

In the pro-Kremlin disinformation news cycle, timing is everything.  Every occasion can be used to amplify and strengthen the false message.  

This week’s opportunity occurred when the separatist officials of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic handed over “human remains and debris” from the MH17 to the Dutch investigators. One may say with good reason it took some time: Malaysian Airlines flight was shot down over Eastern Ukraine three years ago, killing all 298 passengers and crew.
