Summary
Ukraine is urging Europe to tap into over 200 billion euros in frozen Russian assets to ease its financial strain as the war enters its fifth year. Deputy Prime Minister Vsevolod Chentsov proposes partial disbursement alongside EU guarantees, while also pushing for front-loading of the 90 billion euro loan. Belgium staunchly opposes the move, fearing legal and retaliatory risks since most assets are held by its financial hub Euroclear. But the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, and Sweden are rallying behind the idea, signaling a growing divide within the EU as Kyiv seeks any viable funding lifeline.
