Ancient Crimean gold treasures returned to Kyiv Monday after being stuck in a Dutch museum for nine years
The Allard Pierson Museum in Amsterdam has handed over artefacts belonging to four Ukrainian museums in Russian-occupied Crimea to the National Museum of the History of Ukraine in Kyiv.
A total of 565 objects have been recovered, including antique sculptures, Scythian and Sarmatian jewellery, and Chinese lacquer boxes dating back 2,000 years.
A lorry carrying 2.7 tonnes of cultural treasures known as 'Scythian gold' has now entered the territory of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.
