Today, I had a meeting with the Prime Minister of Belgium, Bart De Wever, where we discussed the issue of using frozen Russian assets. I want to emphasize that a decision on the reparations loan needs to be made, as it is fair for Ukraine and will provide long-term predictability.
We also talked about cooperation in diplomacy between Europe and the USA to ensure peace, Ukraine's future membership in the European Union, support for the Ukrainian energy system, and reconstruction. I want to thank Belgium and the entire Belgian people for supporting Ukraine at all times and for participating in the PURL initiative.
