I swear this is the most confusing graphic ever, without comprehensible text cues. At this translation of the presentation it says:

I want to expose air situation in Donetsk area that day. On the picture you can see information of objective control since 17.10 to 17.30 Moscow time. At that time there were 3 civilian aircrafts:
Flight from Copenhagen to Singapore at 17.17;
Flight from Paris to Taipei at 17.24
Flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur.
Besides it, Russian system of air control detected the Ukrainian Air Force aircraft, purposed Su-25, moving upwards toward to the Malaysian Boeing-777. The distance between aircrafts was 3-5 kilometers.

The red lines are ground contours, I guess? Could have been left off. Below there is a more detailed explanation from Chief of Staff of the Air Forces general- lieutenant Igor Makushev. It might be worth some further discussion and sorting out here. --Caustic Logic (talk) 13:54, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

Fucking morons! If they had a PowerPoint, they should have at least published the oricinal, not this crappy 650 pixel thumbnail. It is as bad as the half-redacted Swowden / NSA slides published by the Guardian. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 16:12, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
Found a slightly better version. I'd say the red line is the Ukrainian-Russian border. --CE (talk) 16:53, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
