Ukrainians residing outside the country can submit claims to the International Register of Damages caused by Russian aggression through the "Diya" portal or app, as reported by Ukrainian Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets.

Access to the Damage Register for Ukrainians Abroad − Details

To utilize this service, one must be an adult citizen of Ukraine, possess a taxpayer registration number (RNOKPP), and have an electronic signature.

Currently, the Register accepts claims from those whose housing has been damaged or destroyed, as well as from families of war casualties.

New categories for claims will soon be available:

• forced relocation;
• missing persons;
• property damage.

How to File a Claim to the Damage Register via "Diya"?

• Log in to the portal or app.
• Complete the application form, providing your details and information about the damages incurred.
• Verify the information and sign the application with your electronic signature.
• Submit the application.

The Register collects data about damages but does not make decisions on compensation. The compensation mechanism will be developed later.

The Damage Register Adds Category "Death of a Family Member"

The International Damage Register, caused by Russian aggression, has expanded its categories to include claims regarding the death of a family member due to the war.

In April, at the international conference "Restoration of Justice for Ukraine" in The Hague, the launch of claims submission to the Damage Register was announced. Initially, it concerned only one category of applicants, namely the damage or destruction of residential property.

Later, rules and forms for new claims categories were established. The Register will include over 40 categories.
