Petition is addressed to: the governments of the European Union
It's time for our governments to tax the assets of people with Russian passports, who have more than €1,000,000. The purpose of the targeted tax is the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine.
We demand that every Russian-passport holder residing, working or having his or her assets in EU, Great Britain, USA and Canada be taxed 20% annually, if their assets and annual income exceeds €1,000,000: the tax should be imposed both on their assets and income. This new anti-war tax does not affect ordinary citizens at all. It only affects those Russian-passport holders who enjoy the benefits of residing in a democratic state and at the same time support the Russian war against a democratic state and make themselves rich thanks to their links with Russian regime.
Reason
Among large numbers of Russians who have migrated to live in our countries, some people still support Putin, watch exclusively Russian war propaganda, support Russian war against Ukraine and support totalitarian values of 'Putinism'. Even after 20 years of living in a democratic European state, USA or Canada, they still have Russian passport, which – in the present context – has become a symbol of their support of Putin’s totalitarian values.
The freedoms of democratic countries that protect everybody to freely express their opinions and political support should always have a limit: no support for the war against our democratic values is acceptable.
People who support the Russian war against Ukraine support the war against our values, but should therefore also pay for the costs of this war: the cost of the reconstruction of Ukraine destroyed by Russian troops.
The Russians who have been living in democratic Europe, USA or Canada for years and still keep their Russian passports think that they benefit from having Russian passport and its protection. In this way, they are involved in the Russian war against Ukraine, and therefore should pay for the damage that Russia causes.
