According to the Ministry of Culture, this gesture not only became a symbol of triumph, but also reminded the world of the struggle of the Ukrainian people for freedom, which has been going on for centuries.

The seventeenth-century saber is a unique artifact, an example of Ukrainian weaponry shaped, in part, by the influence of Muslim Eastern culture. Hetman Ivan Mazepa presented the saber to Osavul Savych for his good service. Today it is kept in the Chernihiv Regional Historical Museum named after Tarnovsky

- the Ministry of Culture said in a statement.

It is noted that the saber was delivered to Saudi Arabia in compliance with all regulations and under the supervision of museum experts. Its presentation is an important step in cultural diplomacy.
