Good news! #Poland has arrested Alexander #Butyagin, head of ancient archaeology at russia's #hermitage. He is wanted by #Ukraine for looting a Ukrainian heritage site on temporarily occupied #Crimea. If extradited, this would be a long-overdue step towards accountability for the kremlin's war criminals and agents of influence in academia who too often still freely travel and spread the aggressor's agenda throughout Europe. https://united24media.com/latest-news/poland-arrests-top-russian-archaeologist-wanted-by-ukraine-for-looting-crimea-heritage-site-14196
