St. George awards in the looted mansion of Ukraine's Prosecutor General

Gents,

I chanced upon an article about the looting of a mansion belonging to Ukraine's former Prosecutor General. As the photos attest, the place has apparently been totally gutted.

I just wanted to point out one picture in particular, which shows two cases full of St. George awards in the background (plus a reflection of the larger case on a different glass frame). Can't help but wonder what the story was with these – authentic, fake, stolen, purchased, collected, gifted, prestigious items, historical interest... – and what has become of them.

Looks like a piece of collection. It's not the only case.
It's possible that they were confiscated by the government afterwards, but most likely they are now in a different collection - probably of one of the people who "captured" Pshonka's mansion
