A curious statement. How were they doing that? By letting the rebels take over their cities and airfields? By letting Russia have Crimea?
People burned alive in Odessa. Many people (noncombatants) killed in Lugansk from BM-21 "Grad" bombings. Artillery shooting near UA-RU border, killing two soldiers. Shooting over cross-border stations while refugees were trying to escape into Russia. Many episodes. Kiev declared that 'terrorists' (familiar word, isn't it?) are in Lugansk and Donetsk and started shooting over whole population regardless.

You have it backwards. All the piles of evidence that they shot down the MA flight indicate they probably also had the capability two days ago to shoot down the AN-26, and therefore probably did.
UA has the very same capability since USSR days and therefore probably did.
