Eligible claimants include the State of Ukraine, state authorities and institutions, local self-government bodies, communities, and municipalities.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Categories C1.1 and C1.2<\/strong> mirror the infrastructure categories but are open to all legal entities, regardless of organisational form or ownership, including state and municipal companies, and private businesses.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Category C3.1<\/strong> covers damage, destruction, or loss of business assets, including consequential loss of potential profit, complete loss of business, and other direct losses\/expenses resulting from this damage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>How to submit a damage claim<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Claims are submitted electronically through the Diia web portal. Applications may be filed by an authorised representative holding the appropriate digital credentials. Once verified, claims are recorded on the Register and will be transmitted to the future International Claims Commission for assessment and compensation determination.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Context and significance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since its operational launch in April 2024, which initially accepted only individual claims for residential property damage (Category A3.1), the Register has gradually opened additional categories for individuals, including displacement, personal injury, deprivation of liberty, and loss of business. Approximately 150,000 claims have been submitted across all categories.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In December 2025, 35 states and the EU signed the Convention on the Establishment of the International Claims Commission for Ukraine, according to which the future International Claims Commission will review recorded claims, determine compensation, and issue final, non-appealable decisions. The Convention will enter into force upon 25 ratifications and the securing of sufficient funding.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The opening of business and state categories brings the Register closer to its intended scope of 45 claim categories and moves Ukraine closer towards a comprehensive international reparation mechanism for the damage caused by Russia&#8217;s aggression.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more information on this register, contact your CMS client partner or the CMS experts who contributed to this article:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-742814 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/eba.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/CMS_1_20052026-1024x139.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"139\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eba.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/CMS_1_20052026-1024x139.png 1024w, https:\/\/eba.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/CMS_1_20052026-300x41.png 300w, https:\/\/eba.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/CMS_1_20052026-768x104.png 768w, https:\/\/eba.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/CMS_1_20052026-650x88.png 650w, https:\/\/eba.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/CMS_1_20052026-800x109.png 800w, https:\/\/eba.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/CMS_1_20052026-100x14.png 100w, https:\/\/eba.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/CMS_1_20052026.png 1354w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 29 April 2026, the Register of Damage Caused by the Aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine (RD4U) launched five new claim categories for legal entities and the state of Ukraine, which is the first time the Register accepted claims beyond those of individuals.
