The office of the president of Ukraine announced the return to our homeland of historically significant cultural objects that Russian invaders stole from the occupied territories.

The head of Ukraine attended the event, ambassador of Ukraine to the United States Oksana Markarova and US secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas.
