In the Ternopil region, a court ruled to return the building of the Leather Goods enterprise, located on the territory of the Vyshnivtsi Palace and Park Complex, to the National Reserve "Castles of Ternopil". This was reported by UNN with reference to a statement by the Ministry of Culture.

The ministry explains that the building of the leather goods factory is part of the national monument of Vyshnivtsi Palace and Park Complex and should belong exclusively to the state and all Ukrainians.
Currently, the property is assigned to the National Reserve “Castles of Ternopil”, which belongs to the sphere of management of the ICIP.
