💨 Abstract

The article discusses a political tension at the EU summit in Brussels, where Belgium, under Prime Minister Bart De Wever, opposes using frozen Russian assets to fund Ukraine due to fears of Russian retaliation. Belgium, which hosts key EU and NATO institutions, is concerned about the financial and legal risks, as the assets are held in a Brussels-based clearinghouse. De Wever seeks EU unity on this issue, but other member states and Ukraine argue for the urgency of the funds.
