Russia sues Netherlands over Crimean gold

NOS Nieuws

Russia has initiated a criminal case against the Netherlands, Ukraine, and the Allard Pierson Museum in Amsterdam over a golden art collection from Crimea. The collection, on loan for an exhibition in 2014, was claimed by both Russia and Ukraine after Crimea's annexation. A Dutch court ruled in 2016 that the artifacts should return to Ukraine, a decision Russia disputed as politically motivated. The collection was finally returned to Kyiv at the end of 2023.
