In 2001 we also had Siberian Airlines flight 1812 from Tel Aviv to Novosibirsk was shot down by Ukrainian S-200 during a joint Russian/Ukrainian exercise!
Nope, that was Ukrainian exercise

No, I mentioned it because a joint Russian-Ukrainian exercise is unthinkable now.
> On the Ukrainian website “Maidan-inform” expressed doubts about whose arsenal – Russian or Ukrainian – the S-200 missile was fired. Russian equipment, radar stations and warships also participated in the training.
Ukraine shot it down, but it sure sounds like a joint exercise.

Well there you go, airtight proof.
How it is different from MH-17 (Russia blame Ukraine, found guilty in court) or this J2-8432 (Russian blame Ukraine, ...)?
