A Dutch appeals court has postponed a verdict on the ownership of a collection of gold artifacts from Crimea that was on loan to a Dutch museum when Russia seized the peninsula in 2014, saying it needed more information.​ A Dutch court had ruled, in 2016, to send the treasures to Ukraine -- but four Crimean museums made a joint appeal against it.
