Government consistently implements the principle of “russia will pay” and forms an international compensation mechanism: Denys Shmyhal
The Government has created conditions for the launch of the System for Recording Non-Material Damage. This was announced by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal during a Cabinet meeting on 15 April.
“This primarily concerns the killings of civilians by Russians, those missing under special circumstances, the loss of parents by children, and harm caused by internal displacement. The system will be integrated with other registers and databases and will be managed by the Ministry of Social Policy,” Denys Shmyhal noted.
The Prime Minister emphasised that a key area of the Government’s cooperation with international partners was the use of frozen russian assets for Ukraine’s recovery and strengthening.
“We are consistently implementing the principle of ‘russia will pay’. We are establishing an international compensation mechanism, within which the Register of Damage is already operational. Nine categories are open for Ukrainians to submit claims,” he stated.
According to Denys Shmyhal, efforts are underway to ensure all 45 categories of the Register of Damage are available by the end of the year.
Another important decision adopted today at the Government meeting aims to enhance the country’s resilience and continue the reform of the state reserve.
According to the Prime Minister, the Cabinet of Ministers approved the Regulation for the State Agency for Reserve Management, which defines the legal basis for its operations. The document outlines the Agency’s tasks, functions, rights, and responsibilities.
