- The Register of Damage for Ukraine brings together 44 states and the EU and already holds around 150,000 claims; the International Claims Commission is expected to be established in 2026, with payouts to be made by Russia.
Representatives of businesses and the state can now file claims with the International Register of Damage caused by Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. Claims are accepted through the Diia web portal. This was announced by Iryna Mudra, Deputy Head of the Office of the President.
Documents can be submitted by legal entities, state and municipal enterprises, authorities and communities.
Five new categories have opened:
- damaged or destroyed critical infrastructure;
- damaged or destroyed non-critical infrastructure;

A factory destroyed by a missile. A warehouse that burned down. Municipal infrastructure being restored with budget funds. A business that had to close because of occupation. From today, all of this is recorded in an internationally recognised system – with an evidence base that will carry real legal weight.
– Iryna Mudra, Deputy Head of the Office of the President.
The system consists of three elements.
The Register of Damage for Ukraine (RD4U) records, documents and stores evidence – it includes 44 states and the EU, and the system already holds around 150,000 claims.
The International Claims Commission will review claims and determine payout amounts – it is being established on the basis of a Convention signed by 35 states and the EU, with its founding expected in 2026, after which the Register will become part of it.
The third element is the Compensation Fund, negotiations on which are ongoing, but there is an agreement that payouts will be made by Russia.
