The Register of Damage Caused by the Aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine (RD4U) has opened all 43 categories for the submission of claims for compensation for damage, loss or injury caused by the internationally wrongful acts of the Russian Federation in or against Ukraine since 24 February 2022.

This marks the completion of the phased launch of the claims submission system, which began on 2 April 2024. Claims can now be submitted under all categories covered by the Register’s mandate: 21 categories for individuals, 11 categories for legal entities, and 11 categories for the State of Ukraine.

The categories cover a wide range of consequences of Russia’s aggression. These include the death or disappearance of loved ones, personal injury, torture, sexual violence, forced displacement, loss of housing, employment and private business, damage to property and infrastructure, economic losses suffered by businesses, damage to cultural heritage and the environment, humanitarian expenditure incurred by the State, and other types of damage.

This step provides affected individuals, businesses and the State of Ukraine with a single international system for documenting the harm caused and establishes a comprehensive evidentiary basis for the future examination of claims and determination of compensation.

The opening of all categories is also an important prerequisite for transferring the body of claims collected by the Register to the future international Claims Commission for Ukraine.

Every claim matters. Claims can be submitted electronically via the Diia web portal.
