Since last week, the option of submitting applications to Diia has been opened for owners of damaged or destroyed housing whose property is under occupation or in the war zone. This was announced by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal at a Government session on 30 July.

The initiative is being implemented through the international compensation mechanism, in particular through the Register of Damage for Ukraine. Applications can be submitted, in particular, by people who have not used the eVidnovlennia programme.

“The rules for filing applications for 12 more categories of victims of russian aggression have also been approved. These algorithms will soon start working,” the Head of Government noted.

The Prime Minister thanked the European Union for starting to use the proceeds of russian frozen assets for the benefit of Ukraine’s defence.

“We expect that the G7 countries will promptly develop technical procedures for the transfer of USD 50 billion from russian assets to Ukraine. This is an important resource for 2025 to cover critical budget expenditures,” said Denys Shmyhal.

The Prime Minister stressed that Ukraine continued to insist on the complete confiscation of russian funds in the West. The aggressor, he said, must pay for its crimes in the truest sense of the word.
