Daniel Szeligowski, an analyst at the Polish Institute of International Affairs, stated this on Espreso TV."Regarding frozen Russian assets, in my opinion, there is a lot of money. It's not that there isn't enough money, but there isn't enough political will. I think that by the end of January, a decision should definitely be made. Different scenarios can be developed. I can name three scenarios that are currently being developed in Brussels, and not everyone will like them," the analyst noted.According to him, the first and best scenario for us is to seize frozen Russian assets to use them for the benefit of Ukraine."The second scenario is that new Eurobonds will have to be issued for Ukraine. In my opinion, this is a bit politically controversial, especially for those states that do not support the implementation of such steps. Everyone knows who is first here - Germany, which is always against new bonds. And the third scenario, which is being developed, unfortunately, is to allow Ukraine to declare bankruptcy. In general, they are leaning towards the first scenario, but if an alternative is needed, then the second scenario. And if there is no political will, no consensus, then the European colleagues' hands are a bit tied," Szeligowski commented.Earlier, Belgium outlined its "red lines" regarding the use of frozen Russian assets to finance a €140 billion loan for reparations to Ukraine, demanding guarantees from EU countries for joint risk coverage.
