On February 24, 2022, Russia started a full-scale, unprecedented war against Ukraine. As a result of a large-scale Russian invasion, thousands of civilians died, multiple cities were shelled with rockets, bombs, and artillery, and critical infrastructure facilities, industrial enterprises, thousands of kilometers of roads, and thousands of real estates were destroyed or damaged.
The collected data and the damage assessment will be used for the following purposes:
- documenting war crimes and human rights violations;
- formation of claims against the Russia in international courts for compensation for damages;
- for individual compensation;
- receiving war reparations and compensations for the reconstruction of Ukraine.
The calculations are based on the analysis of several thousands of public notifications from Ukrainian citizens, the government, and local authorities about losses and damages throughout the country, as well as on the basis of public sources. Every citizen can also submit information about the loss of physical infrastructure, including residential buildings, due to the war using the chatbot or Kyiv Digital app.
It is very important to add the true information in a structural way. It helps the information to be used. In particular, you need to fill in the form on the portal in as much detail as possible, add videos and photos of the object and, if possible, the contacts of witnesses.
Anyone who provides information about the destruction will be guaranteed data confidentiality. Also, information about specific destructions will not be published. Only generalized statistics will be publicly available during martial law.
