The Nazis were among the biggest art thieves in history. By the end of WWII they had stolen an estimated 20% of Europe’s artwork.
Russia can’t possibly equal that feat in Ukraine, but it’s not like they aren’t trying. Kherson is apparently being systematic looted of everything the Russians can carry. It’s a sure sign, for me at least, that Russia is preparing to pull out.
They seem to be in a hurry because they reportedly aren’t doing much to store the items properly. They can’t store live ammunition correctly, so this should come as no surprise.
Kherson may not be the only museum in the area that was looted.
We can probably expect that they will steal anything that isn’t nailed down.
Add all of this to the huge pile of war crimes.
