In February 2014 in the Netherlands at the exhibition were taken exhibits from Ukrainian museums.
The decision of the District court of Amsterdam on the return of Ukraine collection of ancient treasures from the Crimean museums means that not only the “Scythian gold” is Ukrainian, but also occupied the Peninsula.

This was written in Facebook by the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko.
“Crimea is also Ukrainian, Crimea is our. This follows from the decision of the court European countries. Look forward to other positive news from the Netherlands,” he said, apparently alluding to the decision on the Association Agreement EU-Ukraine.
We will remind, in February of 2014 in the Netherlands at the exhibition were taken exhibits from Ukrainian museums, located in the Crimea, and their return was demanded by the museums that are subordinate to the occupying Russian authorities.
The collection of Scythian treasure does not belong to specific museums and Museum Fund of Ukraine, but to return them without a trial the Dutch side refused. Among the exhibits – artifacts of Scythian gold, jewels and swords of the ancient Greeks and Scythians. The cost of collection is estimated at $ 1.5 million.
