Dutch court: Crimea treasures must return to Ukraine
None
AMSTERDAM -- A trove of historical artefacts being held by an Amsterdam museum must be returned to Ukraine and not to four museums in Crimea that loaned them out for a 2014 exhibition, a Dutch court ruled Wednesday.
The decision goes a long way to resolving a cultural tug-of-war triggered by Russia's annexation of Crimea.
While the Amsterdam court's decision was a clear victory for Ukraine, the court said that the treasures should remain in storage in Amsterdam pending the outcome of a possible appeal.
