On February 24, 2022, the Russian Federation launched an aggressive war against independent Ukraine, which was accompanied by the deliberate destruction of infrastructure, industry and agriculture, housing, cultural values, and other property belonging.

The maintained analysis led to the conclusion that the damage caused to the Ukraine’s economy, its citizens and businesses due to the military influence of the Russian Federation can be compensated in the general and commercial courts of Ukraine, as well as using UN mechanisms.

The author of the article substantiates the following: the expediency of adopting a special law by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, which will allow the competent state body to collect on the property of the Russian Federation located on the territory of Ukraine or on the property of persons recognized as its collaborators; the decision of the courts to compensate for the damage caused by the armed aggression of the Russian Federation; the need for Ukraine to conclude bilateral and multilateral international agreements on the search for assets of the Russian Federation in the territories of other states, their arrest and transfer to Ukraine in order to compensate for losses caused by armed aggression of the Russian Federation, recognized and recovered by national courts.

The need to reform the United Nations peacekeeping process by amending Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations to remove a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council for an act of aggression has been demonstrated in respect of another state, from voting in matters of peace and security or empowering the General Assembly of the United Nations to decide matters of peace and security if they are violated by a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council.

Key words: compensation for damages, military influence on the economy, laws and customs of war, judicial immunity of the state.
