KIEV (Reuters) - Four Dutch masterpieces dating from the country's 17th-century Golden Age have been recovered by security services in Ukraine over 10 years after they were stolen from a museum in the Netherlands, Ukraine Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin said on Thursday.

The paintings -- part of a group of 24 works valued at 10 million euros ($11.26 million) when they went missing in 2005 -- were said in December to have been discovered in a villa in separatist eastern Ukraine, although the reports were never confirmed.
