Good graphic from the WSJ:
Good morning, starting the live blog for another day. Here is our wrap from our news desk with all the latest on the crash of the Malaysian airliner over eastern Ukraine.
BREAKING: Vice President Joe Biden said during a speech in Detroit that the jet was shot down, "not an accident, blown out of the sky."
More from our news desk on the alleged recordings:
Ukraine's security services have published what they said were two intercepted telephone conversations that they said proved rebels were responsible for downing a Malaysian airliner.
In the first recording, the security services said, rebel commander Igor Bezler tells a Russian military intelligence officer that rebel forces shot down a plane July 17.
In the second, two rebel fighters -- one of them at the scene of the crash -- say the attack was carried out by a unit of insurgents about 25 kilometers north of the crash site.
Neither recording could be independently verified.
Ukraine's state security (SBU) chief Valentyn Nalivaychenko said, "We will do everything for the Russian military who carried out this crime to be punished."
The self-styled prime minister of the self-declared "Donetsk People's Republic," Aleksandr Borodai, has been quoted by the Russian news agency RIA-Novosti as saying that pro-Russia rebels intend to call a three-day cease fire to allow an investigation of the crash of a Malaysian airliner.
He said international organizations would be allowed into the conflict-plagued region.
