Key Focus: EU Commission Failed to Persuade Belgium to Use Russian Assets

Brussels time, November 8, 2025, the Belgian National News Agency (Belga) wrote in a press release:

Yesterday (Friday, November 7), representatives of the European Commission met with the Belgian delegation to discuss using frozen Russian sovereign assets at the European Central Securities Depository in Belgium to fund Ukraine in the medium to short term. The discussion was constructive, but did not eliminate the legal and financial concerns expressed by Belgium. Belgium continues to actively resist the pressure from the European Commission.
