Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever has doubled down on his opposition to the European Union's proposal to use the immobilised Russian assets and issue a so-called reparations loan to Ukraine, calling the idea "fundamentally wrong".
"Why would we thus venture into uncharted legal and financial waters with all possible consequences, if this can be avoided?" De Wever wrote in a letter to Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, and seen by Euronews.
