Ukrainian artifacts stolen by Russia appearing on black markets

Historical #artifacts #stolen by Russia in Ukraine have emerged on global black markets, Prosecutor General Andrii Kostin said in an interview

Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine has been accompanied by large-scale looting of cultural heritage in the occupied territories, with hundreds of artifacts recorded to be stolen.

"In addition to the systematic destruction of our #cultural heritage, Russia resorts to another crime: stealing valuable cultural objects," Kostin said.

"These artifacts, stolen from our museums and #archeological sites, are now appearing on black markets. We already have enough evidence to launch new #criminal proceedings."
