According to the minister, in total, the commission checked and returned 79 objects in various conditions to the state's ownership.

"The UOC-MP allowed unauthorized restructuring, completion, redevelopment of cultural heritage monuments and the construction of new buildings on the territory of the reserve. We will still deal with all this," Tkachenko said.

He also said that after the reserve sent the UOC-MP a demand for immediate departure, termination of use and return of its property to the reserve, the church must do this within three working days from the date of its receipt.

"In case of refusal, there will be a court to make an appropriate decision to remove obstacles to the reserve in the use of property. Today, representatives of the monastery refused to accept the act of acceptance and transfer of state property through the office. The reserve sent all the documents by mail and in electronic format," the minister added.
