Compensation Commission for Ukraine
The Register of Damage Caused by the Russian Federation to Ukraine is an international mechanism for recording and accounting harm inflicted on Ukraine, established by a Council of the EU decision and the Agreement signed in Lviv in 2024. It is administered by the Coalition for the Return of Reparations, comprising Ukraine, the EU, G7 states and other participating countries. A Compensation Commission processes claims submitted by affected persons and determines the compensation amounts. Funding is intended to come from confiscated Russian sovereign assets.

On 30 September, the International Register of Damage Caused by Russia's Aggression Against Ukraine (RD4U) opened its final three claim categories, completing the phased rollout of all 43 categories provided for in its mandate.
