The International Register of Damage for Ukraine has now opened all 43 categories of claims for compensation, according to Maria Mezentseva-Fedorenko, head of the permanent Ukrainian delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. This historic move allows individuals, state institutions, and businesses to apply for compensation through the "Diia" portal.
Mezentseva-Fedorenko emphasized that no other armed international conflict has opened compensation before the signing of peace agreements. The categories cover everything from the death and disappearance of loved ones to damage to cultural heritage and the environment. One new category allows for compensation due to moral and emotional harm, including stress and health damage.
The Register has already received over 200,000 applications, with roughly 150,000 received in the summer. The task now is to verify the compensation mechanism through ratification by partner countries. Of the 35 signatories, nine of the required 16 have ratified. Ukrainians are urged to submit their applications, as the compensation may come from frozen Russian assets.
