Dear
matrixwalker2002,
the Lufthansa website shows that Lufthansa has committed itself not to fly over that region.

Ukraine
Es gab und gibt derzeit keine Sperrung des Luftraums der Ukraine. Dennoch hat sich Lufthansa entschieden, von sofort an den ostukrainischen Luftraum weiträumig zu umfliegen. Die Sicherheit unserer Passagiere hat für uns oberste Priorität. Für die Lufthansa Ziele Kiew und Odessa gibt es zur Zeit keine Einschränkungen.
Rush translation by gum (just as courtesy for the other FTers, not including any legal obligation):
There was and is not a no-fly zone within the air space of the Ukraine. However Lufthansa has decided to fly-round the air space of the Eastern part of the Ukraine with a wide-range deviation. The safety of our passengers is our first concern. At the moment there are no limitations for the Lufthansa destinations Kiew and Odessa.
Hope this helps,
Matrixwalker2002!
