International Register of Damage for Ukraine
The International Register of Damage for Ukraine is an international register established at a Council of Europe summit in Reykjavík in May 2023. It was created as the first component of a future international compensation mechanism and serves to record evidence of damage and loss caused to Ukraine and Ukrainian individuals and entities since 24 February 2022. It is administered under the framework of the Council of Europe, with an Executive Director leading its day-to-day work.

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. The Register, established by the Council of Europe in May 2023, has received approximately 195,000 claims since accepting applications in April 2024, of which more than 65,000 have been entered into the Register. Claims cover damage to individuals, legal entities, and the Ukrainian state, and will eventually be transferred to the future International Compensation Commission for Ukraine.
