Russia's billionaires 'horrified' at threat of sanctions over MH17 crash that could push economy into recession - but are too terrified of Putin to speak out, Financial experts believe Russia's $2 trillion economy could soon be pushed in to recession if tough sanctions against Russian involvement in Ukraine are introduced. The U.S. has already imposed a raft of sanctions against Russian companies with Britain and the Netherlands pushing for the EU to impose even tougher measures following the shooting down of Malaysian Airlines flight MH17. London-based Roman Abramovich (inset) is one of several Russian billionaires who could be affected by EU sanctions.

why are people so skeptical about this crash? What about other crashes in recent times? why not attaching them to terrorism?
