While Czech national leaders have wavered in response to Russian actions in Ukraine, officials in the capital have gone to lengths to demonstrate support for Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity.
More detail on Putin's brief and obviously awkward meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, according to AP:
"I guess I'll shake your hand, but I have only one thing to say to you: You need to get out of Ukraine," Harper told Putin, according to the prime minister's spokesman, Jason MacDonald.
BBC presents much of the damning evidence since Russian state television broadcast a fake image that it claimed showed a military jet firing on the ill-fated Malaysian airliner over eastern Ukraine.
...[S]hortly after the broadcast, many web users concluded that the image broadcast by Channel One was a crude forgery rather than a solid piece of evidence.
Several commentators pointed out that the "Malaysia" logo on the plane from the photograph was in the wrong place. Maksim Kats, a Russian blogger, said the plane in the picture looked like a slightly altered version of the one that tops the search results if you Google "Boeing view from above" in Russian. It also happens to be a publicity photo of a Boeing 767, not a 777, which was shot down over Ukraine in July.
Others noted that the fighter jet looked different from an Su-25 - the type which the Russian media had consistently claimed shot down MH17.
There were also claims that the shape of clouds in the satellite image proved that it actually came from a Google Earth photo of the area taken on 28 August 2012.
Furthermore, those who carried out a reverse image search on Google found that the photograph with the two planes was not so new or exclusive after all: it was first uploaded to a Russian forum on 15 October. Its source was claimed to be "enthusiasts from the Russian wikileaks".

From Reuters:
Russian President Vladimir Putin plans to skip a working session at the Group of 20 leaders summit on Sunday and bring forward his departure, said a Russian official travelling with Putin, after he came under pressure from Western leaders over the crisis in Ukraine.
Putin has been confronted over Russia's position on Ukraine by several leaders at the G20 summit in Brisbane, including U.S. President Barack Obama.
Western leaders have threatened further sanctions if Russia does not withdraw troops and weapons from its neighbouring nation, overshadowing talks on how to lift flagging global economic growth.
