Ancient Crimean gold treasures returned to Kyiv Monday after being stuck in a Dutch museum for nine years, where they were on show when Russia seized the Black Sea peninsula in 2014.
Ukraine has accused Russian forces of looting priceless artifacts from a museum in the southern city of Melitopol as fighting and missile strikes continued in Ukraine’s south and east.
An Amsterdam appeals court ruled that artefacts from Crimea that had been preserved in a Dutch museum are a "part of the Ukrainian state's cultural heritage".
