Who can apply and the purpose of the Register
- Who submits: An application can be submitted to RD4U both by a citizen whose destroyed home was on the territory controlled by Ukraine, and for housing located on temporarily occupied territories (TOT).
- Goal: Currently, RD4U is not about the payment of compensation, but about gathering information about the damage caused by the military aggression of the Russian Federation. This is a source for keeping all evidence of damage and losses for which the Russian Federation will later have to pay reparations.
- Payment terms: It is expected that the Compensation Commission, which will consider the applications on the merits and determine the amount of compensation, can start work in year.
Previously, the International Register of Damages, created to record losses caused by the aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, opened a new category — now owners and co-owners of non-residential real estate can submit applications for compensation for damage or destruction of such property.
Ukraine is working on opening all 45 categories of the International Register of Losses by the end of 2025.
