In particular, it is noted that this category is intended for individuals who lost their housing or place of residence (which served as their home) in the territory of Ukraine on or after February 24, 2022, as a result of internationally wrongful acts committed by the Russian Federation.

Applicants may submit information regarding the loss of their housing or place of residence, including related loss of personal belongings and expenses incurred in securing new housing or relocation.

At the same time, it is specified that:

To submit a claim, applicants must provide information and any available evidence confirming the circumstances of the loss.
