There's something else worth pointing out here, in their press conference the Russians posed two questions about MH17 apparently being diverted, with the seeming inference that it was deliberately diverted into an area of known risk (or perhaps even carrying out some sort of evasive manoeuvre):-
The ATC transcript shows that Ukrainian and Russian ATC were both aware of, and cooperating in managing, MH17's position and flight path, and the report says that there were no restrictions at the altitude MH17 was flying at.
The route diagram in the report shows MH17 hadn't changed direction in around 200Km. Russian ATC requests it to change course just prior to the event, but towards the south east, there's no mention of ATC or the flight recorder indicating another change of path. So was what Russian Radar saw diverting north actually the plane breaking up?
