Damaged housing after shelling: How do Ukrainians get compensation

After that, you must apply for compensation or receipt of a housing certificate through "Equation". The commission then evaluates the damage, and in the case of a positive decision, the funds are received on a special service card. In addition to national assistance, Ukrainians can document the destruction in the International Register of Losses in the Hague. It records damage to housing and non -residential property, cases of death or serious injuries of family members.

This information will be the basis for possible future reparations. Citizens can receive assistance if their housing is damaged after February 24, 2022 in areas where there are no active fighting, and if the commission recognizes the house as to be restored. It is important that the repair is not done at its own expense. Support is available for repair of apartments, private homes, rooms and other living quarters.

The process of obtaining funds includes several steps: applying for "Action", opening the "Equinal account" in the bank, consent to inspect the property for valuation of losses, entering data in the register of damaged property, receiving money on the card and submitting a report on spending. Earlier, Focus wrote that since July 1, 2025, internally displaced persons in Ukraine undergo additional inspections for public payments.

The main condition is residence in Ukraine, and IDP status can be obtained by residents of 13 regions, including Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporizhia, Kharkiv and Kherson. Focus also wrote that Ukraine, along with the World Bank, prepares a program for displaced persons, which will allow you to buy housing instead of lost.
