The International Register of Losses Caused by the Aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine has begun accepting applications for another category – damage or destruction of non-residential property, according to the website of the President of Ukraine.
“Each application submitted is not just a bureaucratic formality, but a contribution to restoring justice and a clear signal that no loss caused by Russian aggression will go unanswered,” said Iryna Mudra, deputy head of the Office of the President.
As noted, victims can file a claim for compensation for non-residential real estate destroyed or damaged after February 24, 2022. In particular, this refers to office premises, shops, warehouses, and production facilities. The relevant application can be submitted via the web portal or the Diya app.
In particular, the owner of the premises will be reimbursed for the full cost in case of destruction and the costs of repair or restoration in case of damage. At the moment, 10 categories have already been opened. In total, the Register will consist of 43 categories for compensation for material and moral damage.
“In addition to damage or destruction of non-residential real estate, this includes damage or destruction of housing, death of a close family member, forced displacement of citizens within the country due to Russian aggression, causing serious bodily injury as a result of the aggressor’s actions, cases of sexual violence committed by the occupiers, torture, cruel or degrading treatment, illegal detention, forced labor or service,” the ministry said.
The International Register of Losses is the first step towards an international compensation mechanism. The next step will be the creation of a Commission for the Examination of Applications, which will determine the specific amounts of compensation to be paid to victims. After that, a Compensation Fund will be set up to make the payments.
“A total of about 30,000 applications have already been submitted to the Register of Losses,” the head of state’s website said.
