Finally, every citizen whose property has been damaged as a result of the crimes of the Russian Federation will be able to receive compensation for the repair of real estate objects from the state using the convenient service "E-compensation" through the Unified State Portal of Electronic Services (DIA), in particular, by using a mobile application.

We congratulate the adoption by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine of Resolution No. 381 dated April 21, 2023 "On approval of the Procedure for providing compensation for the restoration of certain categories of real estate objects damaged as a result of hostilities, terrorist acts, sabotage caused by the armed aggression of the Russian Federation, using electronic public ""E-Compensation” (hereinafter referred to as the Resolution).

Now the citizens of Ukraine, who are faced with the problem of damage to their property due to the war, will be able to receive compensation from the state in the amount of up to UAH 500,000 for the current / major repairs, using the DIA portal.

The resolution clearly outlines the mechanism for the implementation of this super-important right, in particular, it defines the algorithm of actions necessary to receive funds.

Also, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has given certain categories of persons a priority right to receive compensation, and separately singled out persons who cannot use it.

In order to receive compensation, it is enough to use the DIA portal and submit an application in the prescribed form through it, open a current bank account with a special regime for crediting funds and wait up to 30 days for a decision on the possibility of receiving compensation and its amount.

If you or your loved ones are in such a terrible life situation, we have selected a few important points in order for the application for compensation to be approved by the commission that will consider it:

- the person submitting the application must be an adult citizen of Ukraine and the owner of the damaged real estate object;
