The Register of Damage for Ukraine has officially launched the first categories of claims for compensation for damage caused by the aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine for Legal Entities and the State of Ukraine:
- B1.1, B1.2, C1.1, C1.2 Damage or Destruction of Critical and Non-Critical Infrastructure; and
- C3.1 Damage, Destruction or Loss of Assets.
This is a fundamentally new stage in the work of the Register. For the first time, the opening of Claims categories enables the recording of not only individual losses, but also systemic economic losses sustained by business entities and by the State of Ukraine as a result of the aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine.
It concerns a different scale and a different dimension of the consequences of the war – the destruction of infrastructure, the loss of production capacities and assets, the disruption of logistic chains, and the interference with the functioning of entire sectors of the economy.
Claims in C categories can be submitted by any legal persons, regardless of the organisational and legal form and form of ownership, including state and municipal enterprises.
Categories B of claims are available for the State of Ukraine, state authorities, state institutions, local-self-governments, communities, municipalities etc.
In categories related to infrastructure (B1.1 and C1.1 – critical infrastructure, B1.2 and C1.2 – non-critical infrastructure), claims may be submitted for compensation for the value of destroyed or damaged property, as well as for the costs of repairs or restoration (including future costs) of damaged infrastructure or its functions.
Category of claim C3.1 covers damage, destruction or loss of assets, loss of profits from such assets, total loss of business or other direct costs associated with such losses.
Claims that meet the eligibility requirements will be recorded in the Register and subsequently transmitted to the future Claims Commission, which will determine the amount of compensation due.
In December 2025, 35 States and the European Union signed the Convention on the Establishment of an International Claims Commission under the auspices of the Council of Europe.
The opening of these categories creates the opportunity to systemically document such losses and to form a complete international evidentiary base, on the basis of which decisions on compensation will be made.
How to Submit Claims
Claims are submitted via the Diia web portal. Claims on behalf of a legal person or a state authority may be submitted by the head of the legal person (for example, director or chairperson). The director or chairperson may also appoint a Representative, who will be authorised to submit claims on behalf of the legal person by granting such Representative Digital Powers via Diia. Any legally capable individual may act as a Representative.
