Russians Sergey Dubinskiy and Igor Girkin, as well as Ukrainian Leonid Kharchenko, were found guilty of causing the crash that killed 298 civilians in 2014.
Three Russians and one Ukrainian are accused of shooting down a Malaysia Airlines jet over Ukraine in 2014, killing 298 people.
International investigators will prosecute Russian nationals Igor Girkin, Sergey Dubinskiy and Oleg Pulatov, and Ukrainian Leonid Kharchenko over 2014 downing of the Malaysia Airlines plane.
A long-awaited official report into flight MH370's disappearance gave no new information about why the Malaysian plane vanished, sparking anger and disappointment among relatives of those who were on board.
Malaysia said last week that an Ocean Infinity ship Seabed Contractor operating underwater sonar drones had combed more than 96,000 square kilometres of sea to search for the plane that went missing in 2014.
Moscow denies responsibility saying Netherlands trying "to achieve political goals." Earlier on Thursday, international investigators concluded Russian-made BUK missile shot down the plane over east Ukraine in which 298 people were killed.
Independent probe led by Dutch investigators say Russia's 53rd Anti-Aircraft Brigade was involved in the downing of flight MH17 in July 2014, killing all 298 aboard.
Relatives remember their loved ones onboard the ill-fated Malaysia Airlines flight, ahead of the fourth anniversary of the plane's disappearance. Officials say the newest search for the missing plane will likely end in June.
The Malaysian Airlines flight disappeared off the radar in March 2014 and left no trace of its whereabouts.
A sea search - the largest in aviation history - for the Malaysia Airlines jet that disappeared in March 2014 with 239 people, was called off in January last year but looks set to resume soon.
Australian authorities say they deeply regret not finding missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 and the ongoing mystery is "unacceptable," as they publish their final report on the unsuccessful search.
Search teams could not locate the plane in the 120,000 square kilometers of Indian Ocean area that has been the focus of a three year effort.
