Meanwhile, in response to Western sanctions, Russia has banned Western food imports, and blocked flights by Ukrainian airlines from transiting Russian airspace (though this is less related to MH17 and more related to the standoff over flights to Crimea - Ukraine and EU regulators forced a lease on Boeing aircraft operated by the Russian state airline on flights to Crimea to be suspended recently). They are now threatening to block Russian airspace to EU and US carriers as a next step.
