   Russia would like to involve a possible crown witness in the MH17 trial,   
   Vladimir Tsemach, in a prisoner exchange with Ukraine. Reported on the basis   
   of three different sources, including the independent Russian news site The   
   Insider.   
       
   Tsemach is a former military commander of the pro-Russian separatists who was   
   arrested by Ukrainian soldiers at the end of June of the summer. According to   
   some sources, the 58-year-old commander was at the time commander of the air   
   defense near the place where the Buk rocket was fired, which shot down flight   
   MH17.   
       
   The separatist soldier could be an important witness in the coming MH17 Trial.   
   Sources of The Insider say that Moscow would even cancel the exchange without   
   him. Negotiations on a prisoner exchange take place behind closed doors.   
   According to Kiev, there is talk about it, but the consultation has not yet   
   been completed.   
       
   Editor's note:   
       
   This is Russia's attempt to not have this person testify at the hearings
