The Kyiv customs office ensured the return of the historical relic to Ukraine after its temporary removal for display in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The process of customs clearance of the saber took place in accordance with all norms and procedures defined by Ukrainian legislation.
This unique relic of the end of the 17th century, which comes from the Chernihiv Regional Historical Museum named after Vasyl Tarnovsky, is a symbol of the glorious history of Ukraine.
