The draft  (Reg. № 7430) intended to appeal to foreign governments and parliaments to review russia's international tax policy and, in accordance with Article 54 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, to initiate the necessary procedures to terminate the relevant double taxation treaties.

According to the Appeal, the countries of the world must continue to review their policy towards russia, in particular, in the tax sphere. The primary purpose of international tax conventions, which are the basis of international tax law, is to reduce barriers to cross-border trade, services, and investment. At the same time, the development of normal economic relations is impossible when another state grossly violates international peace and security, as well as the fundamental principles of international law.

Ukraine is firmly convinced that the world's countries should not promote the growth of investments and trade with the international aggressor.

russia's actions are so incompatible with international law that it should not use international instruments designed to promote the economic prosperity of peace-loving countries.
