During the meeting, Mr Abbott is reported to have stated that “Russia had armed the rebels who shot down the aircraft and killed 38 Australians.” Mr Abbott said that “MH17 was destroyed by a missile from a launcher that had come out of Russia, was fired from inside Eastern Ukraine and then returned to Russia… [and that this] was a very serious matter.”

Malaysian Airlines Confirms That It Was Instructed to Fly MH17 at Lower Altitude over East Ukraine. On the matter of MH17’s flight path, Malaysian Airlines confirms that the pilot was instructed to fly at a lower altitude by the Kiev air traffic control tower upon its entry into Ukraine airspace. ”MH17 filed a flight plan requesting to fly at 35,000ft throughout Ukrainian airspace.

Upon entering Ukrainian airspace, MH17 was instructed by Ukrainian air traffic control to fly at 33,000ft.” ( For further details see press releases at : http://www.malaysiaairlines.com/my/en/site/mh17.html) 33,000 feet is 1000 feet above the restricted flight altitude (see image below).
