COMPENSATION FOR DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE ARMED AGGRESSIONOF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION AGAINST LEGAL ENTITIES IN UKRAINE

Abstract

B a c k g r o u n d . This study is based on the need to resolve complex legal issues related to compensation for damage caused to legal entities as a result of the Russian Federation's armed aggression against Ukraine. The relevance of this issue is due to the extraordinary scale of damage caused to enterprises, institutions, and organizations, as well as the lack of established judicial practice and effective mechanisms for recovering compensation. The need for a thorough analysis of this issue is due to the need to determine the appropriate methods and procedures for compensating for the damage caused, as well as to establish a clear algorithm of actions to protect the rights of business entities in wartime. The purpose of this study is to highlight current legal approaches and tools that can be used to effectively compensate legal entities for damages caused by the armed aggression of the Russian Federation, taking into account international standards, case law, and the peculiarities of the Ukrainian legal system.

M e t h o d s . The article is based on national judicial practice and legal doctrine, using a comparative legal approach, formal logical methods, as well as methods of analysis, deduction, and generalization.

R e s u l t s . The article examines the problems of compensation for damage caused to legal entities as a result of armed aggression by the Russian Federation and the issue of notifying the defendant, i.e. the Russian Federation, in such cases by analyzing national judicial practice, and an analysis of the existing mechanisms for compensation under martial law as a result of armed aggression, hostilities, terrorist acts, and sabotage committed by the Russian Federation.

C o n c l u s i o n s . The primary issues related to compensation for damage caused to legal entities as a result of the Russian Federation's armed aggression against Ukraine were examined. The difficulties in establishing a causal link between military actions and the resulting damage, as well as the collection of relevant evidence in accordance with national and international standards, were identified. Emphasis is placed on the need to use a comprehensive approach that combines domestic legislation, international practice, and mechanisms for holding the aggressor state accountable in order to ensure effective protection of the rights of legal entities and real compensation for damages.
