Poland blames Russian flight controllers for 2010 crash

Szelag said that one of the controllers was charged with direct responsibility, the other with indirect responsibility, and that prosecutors "also charged some Polish officials who organized the flight and appointed the crew, which was not licensed to fly under poor visibility."

AP said that "the announcement comes at a time when Poland's ties with Russia are tense over the deadly conflict in neighboring Ukraine between the government forces and Russia-backed rebels."
