A robot that tracks Russian government's 'activities on Wikipedia noted some major changes to an entry about the recent Malaysia Airline Flight 17 crash.

Earlier the entry said that the flight MH17 was shot down by terrorists of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic with Buk system missiles, which the terrorists received from the Russian Federation.

The entry was changed within one hour, and now it says that the plane (flight MH17) was shot down by Ukrainian soldiers.

However, it is not revealed that who made these changes, but the edit has been linked back to someone in Kiev at VGTRK, Russia's state-run TV and radio network, the report added.
