Russia may seek to get back frozen assets through Ukraine's partners, Zelensky says
President Volodymyr Zelensky stated on Oct. 17 that Russia might attempt to recover some of its frozen assets through Ukraine's allies, though no specific countries were named. The Belgian Prime Minister, Bart De Wever, met with Zelensky on the sidelines of a summit in Brussels on Oct. 15, but talks did not lead to a conclusion regarding the fate of frozen Russian funds under Belgian control since 2022.
The European Commission has been hesitant to propose a concrete plan until all 27 member states agree on the course of action. Zelensky emphasized that the aggressor, Russia, must reimburse the funds.
