(i) Background: The fact of russian invasion into Ukraine, which resulted in multi-billion losses to the Ukrainian people, is well known. The damage was inflicted both on the state and on each of its citizens individually. Considering the ten-year period of ongoing aggression and its scale, there is an obvious large number of individuals willing to restore justice and their violated rights by obtaining appropriate compensation. Currently in Ukraine, the main burden of resolving the issue of compensation falls on the courts. With a decade of ongoing aggression, many seek justice and compensation, placing a heavy burden on the courts and risking system inefficiency. (ii) Objectives: In order to prevent risks and threats to the judiciary, it is necessary to turn to alternative methods of resolving the issue of awarding compensation. It is noted that such methods should be extrajudicial in nature and simultaneously be an effective means of restoring the violated rights of affected individuals. The need to take such measures is due to the results demonstrated in our previous study.[1] It was found that the courts do not fully deal with this category of cases, court decisions are not really implemented, the rights of victims are not fulfilled in this way, which indicates the need to create complex methods of protection - both judicial and extrajudicial. (iii) Main results of research: The article explores existing non-judicial procedures in Ukraine for the payment of compensation, including the types of damage to which these procedures apply; the entities entitled to claim compensation through special procedures, as well as the compensation to which these entities may be entitled; who is the authorized entity to consider claims for awarding compensation and who should make decisions regarding its provision. One of the key questions is also whether such extrajudicial mechanisms should be differentiated based on certain criteria and which criteria specifically. All these aspects are extremely important for the development of compensation mechanisms that would fully satisfy societal demands. It is expected that through the creation of extrajudicial alternatives, the interests of citizens as well as the challenges facing the judicial system will be balanced. (iv) Main conclusions: Effective extrajudicial compensation must consider national and international experiences and legal frameworks. Therefore, in our article, we will carefully examine the most important aspects related to the above and tried to assess the possible prospects for the implementation of effective restitution in an extrajudicial manner in Ukraine.
