It was not "the West" that prevented Russia from participating in the coming Olympics, it was the systematic state sponsored doping program in Russia that made the IOC decide this www.olympic.org/news/ioc-suspends-russian-noc-and-creates-a-path-for-clean-individual-athletes-to-compete-in-pyeongchang-2018-under-the-olympic-flag, . Russian athletes not convicted of doping will be allowed to compete under Olympic flag. According to the rules of the IOC, any attempt to blockade or blackmail the Olympics means the exclusion from participation in the Games for up to 8 years.

The West is planning to use Mikheil Saakashvili as a "weapon of war against Russia" to disrupt gas transit from Russia

This is a tool of neo-conservatives [of the West]. The task of the creation of Saakashvili – a man without passport – is to create a zone of instability around Russia on the transit energy routes, both along the western border and in the Caucasus. Saakashvili’s goal is Georgia. Saakashvili is needed to destabilise the Georgian internal political situation, and to disrupt this project of Russia’s rapprochement with Iran [possible gas transit from Russia to Armenia and Iran]. This is the weapon of war against Russia.

Disproof

Conspiracy theory, no evidence given. Mikheil Saakashvili is a frequent target for the pro-Kremlin disinformation campaign: euvsdisinfo.eu/disinformation-cases/?text=saakashvili&disinfo_issue=&date=, . In fact, the EU's goal is precisely the opposite - through it's Eastern Partnership policy, to create a zone of prosperity and stability in the Eastern Neighbourhood. It is Russia that is causing instability e.g. through its illegal aggression in Ukraine.

MH17 was shot down by Ukraine with a ‘Buk’ missile from the village of Zaroshchenskoye (Donbas)

In July 2014, officer Yuri Baturin served as a commander of the A-1215 military unit of the Anti-Aircraft Missile Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces near Kharkiv and received all information about the situation in the airspace in the region. According to him, before the flight disappeared from the radar, it changed the route of the flight in agreement with civil controllers. A few days later, servicemen of the Armed Forces arrived in the unit where Baturin served. The servicemen were those who relocated the ‘Buk’. In conversations, they said that they were delivering anti-aircraft missile systems to the village of Zaroshchenskoye – and this is the zone of action, from which the MH17 liner could most likely had been struck, according to a study conducted by the ‘Almaz-Antey’ concern.

There are two options. Option number 1 – the airplane was shot down from the ground by a surface-to-air missile. Or the air plane crashed for technical reasons.

The Russian concern ‘Almaz-Antey’, which produces the ‘Buk’ anti-aircraft missile systems, claimed that a missile was fired at MH17 from the village of Zaroshchenskoye. However, this version was convincingly refuted by the Russian media, in particular ‘Novaya Gazeta’ newspaper: as it turned out, at the time of the tragedy, the village of Zaroshchenskoye was under full control of the pro-Kremlin militants. The newspaper's conclusions were also confirmed by the Joint Investigation Team www.om.nl/onderwerpen/mh17-crash/@96068/jit-flight-mh17-shot/, . According to it, the Malaysian Boeing was shot down from the area of ​​the village of Pervomaiskoye (Donetsk region), which is located 50 km from Zaroshchenskoye.

Recently, investigators of the independent group ‘Bellingcat’ and ‘The Insider’ site have identified, to a high degree of certainty, a key figure sought by the Joint Investigation Team (JIT), the Dutch-led criminal investigation into the downing of Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 (MH17): Russian colonel-general Nikolai Tkachev, who now occupies the position of chief inspector of the Central Military District of Russia. www.bellingcat.com/news/uk-and-europe/2017/12/08/russian-colonel-general-delfin/,
