My memory was a bit off - Scythian artifacts were looted in a separate incident by Russian forces. Ukrainians accidentally dug up Greek or Roman amphorae, not Scythian works.
It's sad to think about the history that's being destroyed. Ukrainian, Roman, Greek, some of it undiscovered and now never to be seen. Such a pointless waste of life, but also of beauty and history. At least some was found. It must be a surreal moment to unearth a historical artefact in a warzone
