The Ministry of Action will add 14 categories to the Register of Damages
This was announced by the Ministry of Digital Transformation and the Diya platform. Claims to the International Register of Damages are submitted via Diya once the relevant categories have been opened on the platform.
The International Register of Damages, established by Ukraine, the EU and 43 other countries, with its headquarters in The Hague, is one of the key international mechanisms for the future compensation of damage caused by Russia to Ukraine.
The government is expanding the number of categories under which claims for damages caused by Russian aggression can be submitted to the International Register of Damages via Diia.
This involves 14 new categories. They will become available following technical implementation in the Diya app. Currently, claims can already be submitted via Diya to the international Register of Damages for Ukraine across 21 categories.
What Ukrainians will be able to report
Citizens will be able to submit claims regarding loss of access to healthcare and education, other economic losses, as well as cases of violations of human rights, international humanitarian law, and the laws and customs of war.
This involves the official documentation of damage and losses, which may form the basis for compensation in the future.
What claims will businesses be able to submit
Companies and entrepreneurs will be able to record costs related to the relocation and evacuation of assets.
Businesses will also be able to submit claims for damage to or destruction of cultural heritage sites, as well as humanitarian and other economic costs.
What the state will record
Authorities will be able to submit claims regarding environmental damage, the theft of natural resources, and the costs of demining and clearing territories.
Separately, the state will be able to record damage to or destruction of cultural heritage sites, as well as state humanitarian expenditure to support the affected population.
When will the new categories come into effect
Claims under the new categories can be submitted once they are opened on the Diia platform. It is through this service that claimants will record damage for the international Register of Damages.
In December 2025, work began on establishing a compensation commission. To date, 38 states and the European Union have signed the Convention. The process required to launch its operations is currently underway.
