KYIV, Ukraine: Ancient Crimean gold treasures returned to Kyiv on Monday after being stuck in a Dutch museum for nine years, where they were on show when Russia seized the Black Sea peninsula in.
Ancient Scythian artefacts from museums in Russian-occupied Crimea have been returned to Ukraine after a legal dispute over ownership rights during which they spent almost a decade in the Netherlands, a Ukrainian museum said on Monday (Nov 27). More than a thousand artefacts, including a solid gold Scythian helmet and golden neck ornament, were on loan to Amsterdam's Allard Pierson.
