Terminological problems of realization of Ukraine’s right to compensation for damage and losses as a result of the armed aggression of the russian federation (in the area of military losses)

The article analyzes the terminological problems of realization of Ukraine’s right to compensation for damage and losses caused by the armed aggression of the Russian Federation (in the area of military losses). According to the author, this issue is insufficiently researched in legal science, and the Procedure for Determining Damage and Losses, as well as the Methodology for Determining Military Losses Caused to Ukraine as a Result of the Armed Aggression of the Russian Federation, contain a number of significant shortcomings (gaps) which do not allow for determining losses in the area of military losses and for their accurate assessment in full.

The author summarizes that the assessment of damages caused by the armed aggression of the russian federation is a complex process of implementing an assessment method (specifying one or more methodological approaches), which is carried out according to the algorithm of assessment procedures.

The author notes that determining the costs necessary to restore property and property rights that have been damaged is an integral part of determining the amount of real damages, since these costs are a component of real damages. The author also argues that the aforementioned Methodology does not fully take into account such an indicator of military losses as human losses when assessing military losses.

Given the need for a clear and consistent differentiation of damage and losses caused by the armed aggression of the russian federation, the author justifies the expediency of supplementing para. 3 of the above-mentioned

Methodology with new terms and proposes appropriate definitions: military damage is proposed to be understood as injury, other damage to health or death of personnel, damage or destruction of any military property; military losses are real losses and lost profits caused by the armed aggression of the Russian Federation to the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and other components of the defense forces. In order to more fully assess military losses by all indicators, it is proposed to introduce the definition of the cost of restoration (replacement) of personnel (in case of injury, death, death of servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other components of the defense forces) — a sum of money that includes direct and related (indirect) costs sufficient to replace the dead (deceased), as well as those in enemy captivity from among the personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other components of the defense forces, as well as treatment and rehabilitation of the wounded.

Key words: damage and losses in the area of military losses, military losses and costs as a result of hostilities, damage assessment, assessment of the needs for personnel restoration, cost of personnel restoration (replacement), armed aggression of the russian federation..
