Starting today, representatives of business and the state can submit claims to the International Register of Damage Caused by Russia’s Aggression Against Ukraine. The five new categories cover damage to or destruction of critical and non-critical infrastructure, as well as damage to, destruction of, or loss of assets.
Claims can be submitted via the Diia web portal by all legal entities, regardless of their legal form or ownership structure, including state-owned and municipal enterprises. Separate categories are also available for the state of Ukraine, public authorities, state institutions, local self-government bodies, communities, and municipalities.
“This is an important and long-awaited step. The launch of these categories makes it possible to systematically document damage and build a comprehensive international evidence base, on which decisions on compensation will be made,” Deputy Head of the Office of the President Iryna Mudra said.
Within the categories related to damage or destruction of critical and non-critical infrastructure, claims may be submitted for compensation covering the value of destroyed or damaged property, as well as repair or reconstruction costs.
The category concerning damage to, destruction of, or loss of assets also covers not only the loss of assets themselves, but also lost potential profit or even the total loss of a business.
The Register of Damage brings together 44 states and the European Union. In December 2025, the Convention Establishing an International Claims Commission was signed. The Commission will assess claims submitted to the Register and determine the amount of compensation. As of today, around 150,000 claims have been submitted.
Ukraine, together with its partners, continues work on establishing a fund that will pay compensation in accordance with the Commission’s decisions, based on the principle that the Russian Federation bears financial responsibility for the damage caused.
