PM Svyrydenko and International Register of Damages management discuss compensation mechanism for Ukrainians
During an online meeting, Ukrainian Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko and the leadership of the International Register of Damage discussed how to make the compensation mechanism a real tool for payments to Ukrainians.
According to Ukrinform, the head of government reported this on Telegram.
“We talked about the most important thing — how to make the compensation mechanism a real tool for payments to Ukrainians who have lost their homes, businesses, or property due to Russian aggression. People are waiting not for papers, but for real payments. We are working towards this,” she said.
According to Svyrydenko, in the coming weeks, it is planned to open several new categories of applications in Diia, and by the end of the year, categories for business and the public sector.
“At the same time, during the meeting, it was agreed that a separate international compensation fund is needed for the system to work effectively. It can be filled both from frozen Russian assets and from part of the proceeds from Russian oil and gas exports,” she stressed.
Also, according to the Prime Minister, it is expected that in December, during the Diplomatic Conference in The Hague, the Convention on the Establishment of an International Commission for the Examination of Claims for Ukraine will be signed.
According to her, this will pave the way for the launch of a real mechanism for payments to victims.
“Together with our partners, we are actively working to ensure that new member states join the practical implementation of the mechanism. Russia must pay for the destruction and damage it has caused to our people and our country,” Svyrydenko emphasized.
As reported by Ukrinform, the government has approved six new categories for the International Register of Damages, applications for which can be submitted to Diia.
