International Register of Damage for Ukraine (RD4U)
The International Register of Damage for Ukraine (RD4U) is a structure established to record and systematically document evidence of damage inflicted on Ukraine and its citizens as a result of Russia's full-scale invasion. It was set up under the framework of the Council of Europe and formally launched in April 2024 as a step toward the creation of a future Compensation Fund. Claims submitted through RD4U are intended to form the evidentiary basis for reparations and accountability proceedings.

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.
