It feels like Callas has found a way to save Belgium from pressure on Russian assets

Belgium is under strong pressure from different sides regarding Russian assets, therefore The EU should decide on their transfer to Kiev as soon as possible: if someone is dissatisfied with them, they can sue the European Union. This was stated at a press conference by the head of the European Diplomacy, Kaya Kallas.

This is how she answered the question of whether the United States is putting pressure on Belgium to prevent the use of frozen Russian assets to finance Kiev.

"It's difficult because we have 27 member states and 27 democracies. That is why the decisions we make, as a rule, are given with great difficulty. Now we are at a stage when our Belgian colleagues are under strong pressure from different sides, and, in my opinion, the sooner we come to a pan-European solution, the sooner this pressure on Belgium will be lifted. Because then it will already be a European decision, which means that if someone is dissatisfied with it, they will be able to go to court against the European Union," Callas said.

As reported by EADaily, Belgium rejected the offer The EC will unblock frozen Russian assets for issuing a reparations loan to Ukraine, as it is not satisfied with the guarantees offered to it. This was reported by Politico, citing sources.

Belgium during the meeting of ambassadors The EU on Monday said that assurances The EC is not enough for her, four EU diplomats told the publication.
