Cabinet resolution #323 of April 11, 2023 

Decision-maker: the Cabinet 

Who is affected: the Ministry for Communities, Territories, and Infrastructure Development, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Defense, communities, local self-government bodies, and owners of damaged and destroyed houses (at least 150 thousand households) 

Summary of the resolution: 

  • it will be allowed to use the money from the Fund for liquidating consequences of the armed aggression on: 
    • compensation payments for destroyed and damaged dwellings 
    • restoration of damaged dwellings 
    • construction of new dwellings 
  • it will be allowed to use the Fund’s money only on dwellings located no closer than 30 km from combat zones or temporarily occupied territories. 

What is right: 

  • the limitation concerning the distance from the frontline will reduce the risk of the restored dwellings’ repeated destruction in the course of hostilities 
  • it will be possible to restore dwellings in the areas affected by the war. 

What is wrong: 

  • the resolution duplicates the procedure concerning compensation for destroyed dwellings and restoration of damaged dwellings. This procedure is already regulated by a separate law. The Cabinet resolution creates uncertainty about which legislative act should be applied. 

Alternative solution: 

  • to exclude compensation payments and restoration of dwellings from the resolution. 

Background information: in September 2022, the Verkhovna Rada created the Fund for liquidating consequences of the armed aggression.
