I can answer this question as well.
Eurocontrol had a warning issued as a NOTAM from what I have read. The airspace this flight was in was closed from FL320 to the ground. MH17 was flying above this at FL330. The airspace is now closed.
Quick flightplan with that airspace closed results in 30 minute longer flight.
