Three Russians and a Ukrainian have been charged with bringing a missile into the area in eastern Ukraine and with murdering 298 passengers and crew.
The passenger flight was en route from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur when it was shot down over conflict-hit Ukraine.
Russia said the accusations against its military were "absolutely threadbare".
International arrest warrants have been issued for the four suspects and a court case will begin in the Netherlands on 9 March 2020.
