The Register of Damage Caused by the Aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine (RD4U) has opened two new categories of claims, allowing the country to bill Russia for war-related costs, particularly territory demining and humanitarian spending. The new categories, B4 and B5, cover “Humanitarian Public Expenditures to Support the Affected Population” and “Demining and Clearance of Unexploded Ordnance,” according to the presidential office on Thursday, Aug. 13.JOIN US ON TELEGRAMFollow our coverage of the war on the @Kyivpost_official. “We must document not only what Russia has destroyed, but also how much it costs Ukraine to overcome the consequences of its aggression,” Iryna Mudra, deputy head of the Presidential Office said. Categories covering evacuation, housing and medical care “Evacuating people, providing temporary housing, treatment and rehabilitation, and demining Ukrainian territories – these are enormous expenditures our state bears because of Russia’s war,” she added. Central, regional and local authorities and institutions can now submit claims tied to these categories. Rehabilitation programs and compensation for damaged or destroyed housing are also covered under the state’s eRecovery program, according to the presidential website. “The opening of categories B4 and B5 makes it possible to include these expenditures in the overall body of claims against the aggressor state,” Mudra said. Budanov: “Russia will pay for every hryvnia spent” Kyrylo Budanov, head of the Presidential Office, said that Ukraine is consistently documenting the costs of Russian aggression while compiling the bill.
