This issue is also relevant to legal entities that accrue depreciation of fixed assets, because depreciation is charged during the useful usage (operation) of fixed assets (Articles 138, 177 of the Civil Code of Ukraine), and the destruction of such fixed assets excludes this.

Thus, both the payment of real estate tax and the accrual are associated with the physical existence of the real estate (subject to recognition as an asset, i.e., crediting in balance sheet of the enterprise) and the existence of the of ownership to the subject. It is provided that the tax base of residential and non-residen- tial real estate, including their shares owned by individuals, is calculated by the supervisory authority on the basis of the State Register of Real Property Rights (p. 266.3.2 p 266.3 Article 266 of the Tax Code of Ukraine).

Given that under Part 1 of Article 182 of the Civil Code of Ukraine, the right of ownership and other real rights to immovable property, encumbrance of these rights, their origin, transfer and termination are subject to state registration and, in accordance with paragraph 4 of Part 1 of Article 346, Article 349 of the Civil Code of Ukraine, ownership of property is terminated in case of destruction of property, such a fact is subject to state registration in accordance with the Law of Ukraine "On State Registration of Real Property Rights and Encumbrances", Article 14 of which states that in case of destruction of real estate, the relevant section of the State Register of Rights and the registration file are closed. From this point on, for the purposes of tax law, the person ceases to be the owner, and the relevant real estate object ceases to exist.

Therefore, the company must, after receiving information about the destruction of objects from the SES (taking into account the resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine as of April 5, 2022 "On amendments to the Procedure for inspection of commissioned construction sites"), conduct an inventory and write off such destroyed objects in the established manner, by drawing up of a document on the writeoff of fixed assets - real estate from the balance of the enterprise in connection with the destruction, which will be grounds for exclusion of such object from the assets of the enterprise. This will be the basis for the termination of accrual of depreciation.

With regard to the payment of real estate tax, it is necessary to record information on the termination of ownership of the destroyed object in the State Register of Real Property Rights at the request of the owner. Since the state registration of ownership of a completed object in connection with its destruction is carried out in the presence of information on the fact of destruction obtained by the state registrar from the Unified State Electronic System in the field of construction (paragraph 75 of the State Registration of Real Property Rights and their encumbrances, approved in the edition of the resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated August 23, 2016, № 553), the owner of the destroyed property should ensure that relevant information is entered into the Unified State Electronic System in the Procedure approved by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine as ofJune 23, 2021, № 681.

Conclusions

- The solution to the above problem is the adoption of a specific complex law. Such law should determine and provide the grounds, subjects, whose property is compensated, and procedure for seizing and recovering property in favor of Ukrainian residents who have suffered from property damage. The Ukrainian Parliament is already discussing some law drafts. The most debatable and polemical issues today are which sources of Russian assets could and should be used to cover losses caused by the Russian Federation's military aggression.

- Draft Law № 7169 was registered in the Verkhovna Rada; it intends to amend the Law of Ukraine “On Fundamental Principles of Forced Withdrawal in Ukraine of Property of Russian Federation and its Residents” that came into force on 7 March 2022 (hereinafter - Law of Ukraine № 2116-IX dated 03 March 2022). This Draft Law aims to widen the scope of persons, whose property could be withdrawn in Ukraine due to the Russian full-scale military aggression and specifies the purpose of such actions: towards future reparations to Ukraine.

- Increased attention should be focused on international efforts to block and afterwards seized Russians assets.

- Regardless of the country that supports EU or US sanctions against Russia or imposes its own sanctions against Russia due to military aggression against Ukraine, the most difficult and important measure is to take further steps with blocked Russian assets and, above all, with a legal mechanism to turn these seized assets in favor of Ukraine. It should be noted that this is the issue that is currently the "bottleneck", namely the inconsistency of the announced statements and slogans with the possibility of its implementation.

- Therefore, summarizing the above stated, it should be highlighted that without the adoption of a separate special comprehensive law on retribution (compensation) for damage caused by military aggression against Ukraine, which should determine the grounds, subjects whose property is compensated, and the procedure for seizure and reversal of this property in favor of Ukrainian residents who have suffered from property damage, there is no sense to talk about such compensation.
