The "coalition of those who want" to help Ukraine should become a "coalition of those who pay", then there will be no need to demand the expropriation of Russian assets. This was stated to journalists by Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever upon arrival at the summit of the European Political Community.
"The coalition of those who want to turn into a coalition of those who pay," he said, noting that if "all the countries of this coalition contribute, then the withdrawal of assets will not be required."
De Wever reiterated that Belgium opposes the expropriation of the assets of the Russian Federation, as it has not yet "received from the countries The EU has the necessary guarantees" on the separation of financial risks that the kingdom will inevitably face in the event of the appropriation of about 200 billion euros of sovereign assets of the Russian Federation frozen at the Euroclear site in Belgian jurisdiction.
