Oleg Bugrov, one of key witnesses of MH17 tragedy, who talked about BUK 3 days before attack, arrested by Russian secret service.

Next day after MH17 was shot down Security Service of Ukraine posted a video with audio of the phone calls between pro-Russian rebels and their coordinators from GRU Russian secret service. In that phone call recorded on July 14, 2014, Oleg Bugrov complains that he was trying to shot down Ukrainian military aircraft near Stanytsia Luhanska and missed. His coordinator “Oreon” tells him not to worry and that the situation will change in couple days as they already have BUK and they will be shooting all the planes down. Oleg Bugrov replies: “Yes, I know about it.”
