Belgium has set a condition for the use of russian assets to support Ukraine

This was reported by The Guardian.

On 1 October, the Belgian Prime Minister once again raised legal issues regarding the use of frozen russian assets to finance Ukraine.

Weaver heads a group of countries that remain sceptical about this move due to concerns about the legal implications.

It is noted that Belgium is particularly vulnerable in this regard, as more than half of the frozen funds are held by the Brussels-based clearing company Euroclear.

In his comments this morning, De Wever said he had asked other leaders to provide firm guarantees on risk sharing in the event of frozen russian assets being used to finance loans to Ukraine.

He noted that Belgium would only be prepared to implement this plan after receiving satisfactory answers to its questions, and that no such answers had been received as yet.
