Ursula von der Leyen, the head of the European Commission, has decided to take the initiative and conduct negotiations with the Prime Minister of Belgium about using Russian assets to support Ukraine. Previous meetings have not yielded significant progress, so she hopes that a personal meeting with De Wever will resolve the issue.
Frozen Russian assets could serve as a source of funding for a 140 billion euro loan to Ukraine. Negotiations are ongoing slowly, but the European Commission is doing everything possible to find a common solution and help the Ukrainian side receive the necessary support.
