Dutch court ruled to transfer Scythian gold to Ukraine
Amsterdam Court of Appeal, which was considering the issue of the ownership of the Scythian gold from the Crimea, made a decision to transfer it to Ukraine. The trials in the case lasted for 7 years.
It all began in February 2014, when an exhibition of Scythian gold was held at the Allard Pearson Museum in Holland. The exhibits partly belonged to the Kiev museums, and partly to the Crimean ones. In March 2014, Crimea became a part of the Russian Federation, and the Netherlands returned only a part of the collection belonging to Kiev. The Crimean exhibits became controversial, as the Ukrainian side demanded that the gold be returned to them directly. The Crimean authorities, in turn, insisted on the return of Scythian gold to the museums of the peninsula.
The situation has already been commented on by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who called the decision long-awaited and fair. The Crimean side does not agree with the decision and will seek the return of the exhibits in cassation - it is possible within 3 months, during which time the gold will remain in the Netherlands.

In 2016, the Dutch court already took the side of Ukraine, but then Crimea filed an appeal.
The collection of Scythian gold contains about 2000 items; it belonged to four museums of the Crimea. The court ruled that the exhibits are part of the cultural heritage of Ukraine, and therefore should be transferred to the country's authorities.The situation has already been commented on by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who called the decision long-awaited and fair.
