description The article examines the problem of Ukraine collecting war reparations from the Russian Federation. A few years ago, it seemed that the problem of collecting war reparations concerned only the consequences of the Second World War and would certainly never again affect the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. However, the events of the last two and a half years show that it will continue to be relevant. The Polish experience of collecting war reparations from Germany, although not a model to follow, clearly confirms that the problem of paying reparations is difficult even in relations between two states that adhere to the norms of international law. Regarding Russia, let's recall the famous statement of the Chancellor of the German Empire, Otto von Bismarck, who claimed that agreements with Russia are not worth the paper they are written on. Therefore, Ukraine must rely on itself and on the help of the international community in collecting military reparations.
