The artifacts in the exhibition were taken from Ukrainian museums that are located in the Crimea, and return them demanded the Museum, subordinated to the Russian occupation authorities. Treasures do not belong to specific museums and Museum Fund of Ukraine, but to return them without a trial the Dutch side refused. Exhibition in the Netherlands opened in February 2014, a month before the start of the Russian occupation and annexation of Crimea. 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.

The appeal will be filed,” – said the lawyer defending the interests of the Crimean museums in this process.
