Category A3.1 (damage or destruction of residential immovable property) is once again open for the submission of claims at the Register of Damage Caused by the Aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine (Register), following the conclusion of a short, temporary pause due to a cyberattack on Ukrainian registries.

This category is for property owners to submit a claim in relation to a flat or a house in Ukraine that was damaged or destroyed as a result of Russia’s full-scale invasion.

Such claims can be submitted to the Register:

• regardless of where the property is located in Ukraine, including the territory under temporary occupation;
• regardless of whether the owner has previously applied to the e-Recovery programme, and even if some compensation was received;
• regardless of whether the title to the property is registered in Ukraine’s State Registry of Immovable Property Rights.

Hundreds of thousands of residential properties have been damaged or destroyed by the war. More destruction is caused every day. All these homeowners can now submit claims for compensation to the Register.

This resumption comes shortly after the recent launch of Category A2.1 (death of an immediate family member), in which the Register has already received more than 1,000 claims. Under this category, a person may submit a claim for their own mental pain and anguish from the death of an immediate family member due to the invasion.

Further information about each category, as well as how to submit a claim, can be found here.
