The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has updated the rules for providing compensation for property damaged as a result of the Russian war. The NGO “IDPs of Ukraine” explained the details.
What has changed
If the owner of the property is recognized as missing or disappeared under special circumstances, the guardian of the property may receive compensation.
If the owner was deprived of his liberty due to the war, his family member receives compensation.
A family member also consents to the payment of compensation if the co-owner of the property was deprived of his liberty.
Persons without a TIN for religious reasons can submit an application only in paper form.
For mortgaged objects, compensation is possible only with the written consent of the creditor.
The consent of a foreign co-owner or stateless person is not required.
If the settlement where the property is located is located in a zone of hostilities or occupation, the recipient may return the funds or their remainder.
After deoccupation or the end of hostilities, a new application can be submitted.
If the amount of damage exceeds the amount of compensation, the application may be satisfied if there is co-financing from Ukrainian or international organizations.
