We help you obtain compensation for damages from the aggression of the Russian Federation

Compensation is the compensation for material or moral damages caused to a person due to illegal actions, damage, loss of property, or violation of rights.

The daily arrivals of Russian KABs, drones and missiles in Kharkiv, Odessa, Dnipro and other cities of the East and South, unfortunately, have long been nothing new. As a result of one of the attacks, the famous RedCube building in Kharkiv, where the Antoshka children’s goods store was located, was damaged. Its owners turned to the law firm DE-YURE for help in the fight for justice.

DE-YURE is currently developing the practice of compensation for damages from Russian aggression and is conducting several similar cases. As the company’s partner, Doctor of Law Artem Ripenko, who heads this area of ​​work, said, the client’s requirements include the following stages:

1️⃣ pre-trial settlement process: preparation of documents for the criminal case, summoning a commission of the Kharkiv City Council to assess the damages, summoning a judicial expert, etc.;

2️⃣ filing the case in a Ukrainian court and obtaining a decision to recover from the Russian Federation the full amount of the damages caused;

3️⃣ entering relevant information into the international register of damages, attempting to recognize this decision in other jurisdictions (in particular, the EU), searching for and seizing the assets of the Russian Federation or its individual enterprises so that they bear responsibility for their criminal actions in Ukraine with their own property, and assisting the client in actually receiving this compensation.

Such cases last a long time: 3-5 years in the medium term or even 10 in the long term, but the specialists of the law firm “DE-JURE” are confident that they can achieve results, because they know their business well and are ready to work.
