Ukraine manages applications for compensation through a mobile phone app. During the first year of the war about 350,000 applications were made, without checking their veracity. Considering evaluations of satellite pictures in 2024 about half of those applications are possibly fraudulent.
Planning for the compensation method is that local authorities inspect the destroyed property at some point and will assign "exchange codes" to approved applications which people will only be able to spend on construction materials and construction work; alternatively they may buy property for an assigned sum elsewhere in Ukraine in lieu of renouncing any claim to other compensation.
