The Consulate General of Ukraine in Krakow reports that, as of 30 September 2026, all 43 categories of claims have been opened for submission to the international Register of Damage Caused by the Aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine (RD4U). Claims are submitted electronically through the «Diia» portal.
Claims for damages may be submitted by natural persons, legal entities and the State of Ukraine. The Register covers damage, losses and harm caused by Russian aggression from 24 February 2022 onwards, in accordance with the rules of each category. In total, the following categories are open:
<ul>
<li><strong>21 categories for natural persons,<\/strong><\/li>
<li><strong>11 categories for legal entities,<\/strong><\/li>
<li><strong>11 categories for the State of Ukraine.<\/strong><\/li>
<\/ul>
How to submit a claim?
Claims must be submitted through the Ukrainian public services portal <a href="https:\/\/diia.gov.ua\/" target="_blank">Diia<\/a>. Before submitting a claim, it is advisable to review the rules of the selected category and the requirements for documents confirming the damage incurred.
Detailed information can be found on the official Register website:

<\/ul>
Submitting a claim does not mean compensation will be paid
As the Consulate emphasizes, <strong>the Register accepts and records claims and supporting documents, but does not itself make compensation payments<\/strong>. The submitted claims will subsequently be considered as part of the international compensation mechanism.
RD4U was established in May 2023 within the framework of the Council of Europe as the first element of this mechanism.
The Consulate encourages the dissemination of this information among those affected, in particular Ukrainian citizens staying in Poland, as well as among non-governmental organizations and institutions that support the Ukrainian community.
