It's overwhelmingly likely to have been shot down by "Ukrainian rebels", who are Russian-backed.

It's not going to be the end of the world unless someone very high profile was on board, but it will further worsen relations with Russia. Malaysia isn't exactly a nuclear superpower. A US airliner would be a lot closer to end of the world territory.

Number of civilian casualties is roughly comparable to those in the past few weeks in Gaza.
