Why did BA avoid East Ukraine airspace since June ?

Some airlines continued to fly over East Ukraine till July 17 while others like British Airways stopped overflying East Ukraine since the start of June.

Anyone knows why BA stopped overflying East Ukraine? Was it because of restrictions of overflying Crimea or safety concerns of the East Ukraine airspace?
