Recently, member companies of the GovTech Alliance of Ukraine — Kitsoft and Strimco — met with project partners of the Register of Damage for Ukraine (RD4U) at the Register’s headquarters in The Hague. In cooperation with international partners, Ukrainian companies are developing the Register. The Register is designed to function as a record of all eligible claims seeking compensation for the damage, loss and injury inflicted by the aggression of the Russian Federation in and against Ukraine.

What Is Important to Know About the Register?

• It records claims and establishes an evidentiary basis for subsequent steps, including compensation;
• It serves as the first stage in establishing a future compensation mechanism (reparations);
• The Register will rely on digital data and will operate a secure digital platform to receive, process and categorise claims and evidence;
• The process of submission of claims – exclusively digital – will be as simple and streamlined as possible.RD4U is the first digital register of damage of this scale, allowing any Ukrainian citizen to submit a claim via the Diia portal;

The project is rooted in Ukrainian expertise and context, with Ukrainian organizations playing a driving role.

Progress to Date

• 100,000 claims have been recorded by Ukrainians, ranging from forced internal displacement to property loss;
• 14 types of claims are currently available, with the list of categories continuing to expand;
• The submission of claims to RD4U constitutes;
• The first international service integrated into Diia.

During their meeting in The Hague, the teams developed a joint strategic development plan for 2026. In the near future, the list of claim categories will be expanded to include loss of business operations, damage to infrastructure, loss of assets, loss of  access to healthcare and education, and other violations of human rights and international humanitarian law. The launch of claim submissions through Administrative Service Centres across Ukraine is also planned.

Kitsoft describes its contribution as follows:

“We configured and launched the services for submitting claims to the Register using the low-code platform Liquio, developed by our team. To ensure accessibility through both the Diia portal and the mobile application, we implemented the necessary integrations, including with the Register’s Central Claims Management System.”

Strimco outlines its role in the project:

“We are involved in R&D related to claim requirements and in implementing claim submission to the RCMS — the Register’s system that collects claims. We develop artifacts for development teams, including technical and business documentation, prototypes, BPMN models, and API protocols — all materials necessary for understanding what and how to implement.”

The Systemic Role of Ukrainian GovTech Companies in the Development of the Register

The involvement of Ukrainian GovTech companies in developing the Register of Damage for Ukraine is of systemic importance. Ukrainian teams possess a deep understanding of the context of war, the needs of citizens, and the specificities of state information systems. Their extensive experience in GovTech, including developing national registries and integrating interagency systems, ensures the project meets both technical requirements and the practical needs of the state and society.

The implementation of RD4U reflects the values shared by GTA UA members. Cooperation between Ukrainian GovTech companies and international partners is based on coordinated efforts and a shared commitment to tangible outcomes. The project applies modern technological approaches while adhering to high standards of professional ethics and transparency.

At the same time, the establishment of the Register contributes to the evidentiary foundation for the accountability of the Russian Federation for crimes committed in Ukraine and lays the groundwork for a future compensation mechanism and reconstruction processes.

The Register of Damage for Ukraine represents a large-scale international effort and an important step toward establishing a mechanism to ensure justice and compensation for Ukraine and its citizens. GTA UA wishes the teams at Kitsoft and Strimco, as well as their international partners, continued success and will closely follow the further development of the Register. This initiative marks the beginning of systemic work that is significant not only for the sector but for Ukraine as a whole.
