The Belgian Prime Minister announced the risks of confiscation of Russian assets

Belgian Prime Minister Bart de Wever, following a summit in Brussels on December 19, announced that the European Union (EU) countries were aware that the confiscation of Russian assets could lead to uncontrollable financial and legal risks.

"This would bring great financial uncertainty and legal risks that are simply too difficult to manage. And I think that in the end, after a discussion that took many hours, everyone realized this," RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

With these words, the Prime Minister summed up the results of the summit, at which it was decided to issue a loan to Ukraine.
