Shvydkoy noted that all courts in the Netherlands decided in favor of transferring Scythian gold to Ukraine. And the limit of possibilities to resolve this issue on the territory of this country, according to him, has been exhausted.
“Since the rights of museums were violated, they filed this lawsuit, believing that the court could restore justice,” TASS quotes Shvydkoy as saying.
Earlier, Ukrainian customs stated that Scythian gold was delivered to the country. Then his transfer to Ukraine was confirmed by the Allard Pearson Museum in Amsterdam. As the Russian Foreign Ministry later stated, it cannot be ruled out that it will subsequently be lost.
