Prime Minister: We are working to ensure that everyone who suffered losses from the russian invaders exercises their right to compensation

The Government has brought the procedure for maintaining the State Register of property damaged and destroyed as a result of hostilities, terrorist acts, sabotage caused by the military aggression of the russian federation in line with the current regulations. This was announced by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal.

In particular, new register data on housing certificates, remote inspection rerports are being added, and the functionality of the Register is being expanded.

“We are working to ensure that everyone who has suffered losses from the russian invaders exercises their right to compensation,” the Head of Government stressed.

The Prime Minister reminded that the International Register of Damage had been launched in The Hague as part of the international compensation mechanism. In the first day of its operation alone, more than 500 applications were received from victims of russian aggression.

Ukraine is also working on establishing a Compensation Commission and a Compensation Fund, which should be filled with confiscated russian assets.

“We welcome the initiatives of our European partners to transfer to Ukraine the income generated by these frozen assets. In 2024, these revenues could amount to a total of EUR 5-8 billion,” said Denys Shmyhal, stressing that this was only the first step towards restoring justice. The “russia will pay” principle must be fully implemented.
