Fairly predictable reaction from Kremlin / pro-Kremlin voices to the latest #MH17 findings: dismiss, distort and distract. But not, so far, dismay.

Dismiss, such as the Russian MFA calling the investigation "openly biased and lopsided."

And both MFA and MoD complaining it "completely ignored" evidence.
Not to mention RT and Sputnik using language which, let's say, doesn't seem to be straining too hard for impartiality.

"Infamous," for example.

(Note that's not marked as a direct quote, so editorially, it belongs to RT.)
Distort: why say investigators held back some of the evidence, when you can just say they "won't show proof"?
Distract, such as when the MoD accused the JIT of photoshopping the evidence.

Which, um, is what the MoD did after the shooting-down (h/t @ArmsControlWonk)

But not, interestingly, any dismaying tactics yet. Instead, offers to cooperate.

An attempt to take the moral high ground?
