Ukraine Expands Compensation Options via Damage Registry: New Categories Added to Diia App.

Broader Compensation Pathways Now Available

According to Novyny.live: The Ukrainian government has widened the scope of compensation claims through the international Register of Damages, introducing fresh categories for moral injury, economic losses, medical costs, and educational disruption. Citizens and businesses can now submit applications for various harm types under this expanded framework.

Claims can be processed through the 'Diia' online portal, where applicants can complete documentation using electronic signatures. A newly created category, A2.10, specifically addresses moral damage, enabling compensation for psychological suffering caused by the war. Category A3.7 covers loss of financial support, funeral expenses, and loss of movable property—measures that can significantly ease the financial burden on affected individuals.

Additional Claim Categories

• Categories A4.1 and A4.2 address loss of access to healthcare and education, respectively.
• Government bodies can now file claims for destruction of cultural heritage, environmental damage, and evacuation costs.
• Ukrainian enterprises are eligible for compensation related to the loss of cultural assets and business relocation expenses.
• For destroyed housing, remote inspection reports can be used, simplifying the application process.

These updates create new opportunities for both the state and citizens in the damage recovery process. Simplified procedures for those living near the front lines allow for more effective responses to war-related challenges and ensure targeted support for victims.

'These changes in compensation policy could significantly ease the lives of war victims, providing them with financial support during the most difficult times.'

Importantly, the new compensation categories cover not only material losses but also moral harm, highlighting the need for comprehensive citizen support. The streamlined access through online platforms also reflects the government's commitment to adapting to the new challenges facing the country amid the war.
