Guys, heβs not the biggest obstacle.
Not a single Belgian party nor the financial establishment are in favor of seizing those assets.
Now, letβs be clear because there NUANCE here: Belgium is NOT fundamentally opposed to Russia paying reparations to Ukraine. It is opposed to Belgium becoming the principal legal and financial risk-bearer for a decision taken collectively by the European Union.
Thereβs also a very legitimate argument to be made about damaging confidence in European financial infrastructure, potentially encouraging reserve diversification away from euro-denominated assets. Which will be bad for the EU - we need more capital, not less, to be able to support Ukraine to victory AND have enough money for reconstruction.
The current workaround is they are using the profits from these assets to finance Ukraine and service loans. The assets are also going to be collateral for big loans. So when russia loses the war and has to pay reparations - they will use those assets anyway.
Itβs not a perfect solution, but itβs one that still works.
The Belgian Prime Minister, Bart De Wever, has resigned, one of the biggest obstacles to using frozen Russian assets to fund Ukraine apnews.com/article/belgium-bβ¦

King Albert I (left, conversing with a mounted officer) has, in a final attempt to stem the German advance towards the French border, ordered the sluice gates at Nieuwpoort: If Belgian arms can't stop the Germans, the cold waters of the North Sea will.

1. You should add this isn't exactly news, it's from some time ago
2. He later said normalisation with Russia should only happen after an acceptable peace
3. He has continued Belgian aid to Ukraine, and recently reaffirmed his support in a meeting with Zelensky
Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever has delivered a stark warning to the European Union, urging Brussels to abandon its relentless path of confrontation with Russia and face the harsh reality that the war in Ukraine cannot be brought to an end through escalation alone.
De Wever argues that Europe, stripped of full American support, lacks the military and economic strength to secure victory on its own.
With weapons shipments draining resources and energy costs soaring, he insists that diplomacy is no longer an option Europe can afford to ignore , it is an absolute necessity.
While European nations continue to shoulder the mounting costs of the conflict, countries like China are capitalizing on access to cheap Russian resources.
De Wever is calling for a fundamental shift in strategy: strengthen Europe's defences, fortify its borders, but begin the gradual normalization of relations with Moscow before the economic and geopolitical price becomes even more devastating.
His stance puts him alongside Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic, countries that have increasingly challenged Europe's hard-line approach and demanded a renewed push for negotiations.
The message is clear: Europe cannot afford to wage a war of attrition indefinitely while diplomacy remains on the sidelines.....
