RFE/RL's Washington correspondent Luke Johnson has sent us this item on John Kerry's view as to where the missile that shot down Flight MH17 came from:

The United States has assessed that a surface-to-air missile which shot down a Malaysia Airlines plane over Ukraine originated in Russia, Secretary of State John Kerry said today.

"It's pretty clear that this is a system that was transferred from Russia in the hands of separatists," said Kerry on CNN's "State Of The Union" program.

He added that the U.S. knows "with confidence" that the Ukrainian government did not have a BUK missile launcher in the vicinity of the attack.

The secretary added that he was "confident" that U.S. President Barack Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin would speak soon.

U.S. intelligence authenticated audio intercepted by the Ukrainian government of separatists admitting that a faction had shot down a plane, according to a statement from the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv.
