In Brussels, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a meeting with Prime Minister of Belgium Bart De Wever.
The Head of State thanked Belgium and the entire Belgian people for their support for Ukraine from the very beginning of the full-scale war and separately noted Belgium’s contribution to the PURL initiative.
The key issue discussed during the meeting was the use of frozen Russian assets for the benefit of Ukraine. Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted that he understands all of Belgium’s concerns; however, a decision on the reparations loan must be made, as it is fair and will ensure long-term predictability for Ukraine.
In addition, the leaders discussed coordination with Europe and the United States in the negotiation process to achieve a dignified peace, Ukraine’s future membership in the European Union, support for Ukraine’s energy system, and reconstruction.
