Why haven't we heard the ATC recordings yet or seen the filed Flight Plan. How did the aircraft end up in hostile airspace.

There is speculation that the pilot requested the diversion. It's also possible that ATC directed him into that airspace. The first would back up my mistrust of the earlier MH Trip-7 disappearance. The latter would suggest that the Ukrainians were looking for a sacrificial lamb.

Recovering MH-17's FDR will show nothing worthwhile and the CVR may not be needed if the ATC recording are secured. The CVR, at best, will have a whole lot of expletives, pleadings, or farewells. Although, an Allāhu Akbar might be telling.
