Source: Security Service of Ukraine (SSU); Vinnytsia Oblast Prosecutor's Office Details: The total value of the seized property is UAH 460.6 million (approx.

US£12.25 million)

The list includes apartments in the central part of the city of Dnipro, a land plot in Kyiv Oblast, and two property objects in temporarily occupied Crimea - namely, the Kirov sanatorium and the museum Estate of Princess Bariatynska, where Tsarov now lives, the SSU notes.

According to the investigation, after the seizure of the Ukrainian peninsula, Tsarov re-adjusted his Crimean health resort to the legislation of the Russian Federation. Thus, he regularly pays money from the recreational business to the budget of the aggressor country in the form of "taxes". In addition, Tsarov signed a contract with the division of the Rosgvardiya (Russian National Guard) to install and maintain technical security equipment for two Crimean properties belonging to the former MP.

Based on the evidence collected, the Security Service investigators additionally served Tsarov with notice of suspicion of financing actions committed to change the borders of the territory or state border of Ukraine. Earlier, the SSU qualified Tsarov's criminal actions as high treason committed under martial law. Quote from SSU: "Since the perpetrator is hiding from justice in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine, comprehensive measures are being taken to bring him to justice for crimes against Ukraine."
