Espreso correspondent Tetiana Vysotska reported the information."It's interesting that the Europeans have started to play this trump card of frozen assets. And if you listen to the statements of European politicians, they all said that they would look for a way to use the frozen assets of the Russian Federation for the benefit of Ukraine, thus continuing the pressure on Russia.It is also interesting that yesterday Macron said that in the coming days there are two priority issues – security guarantees for Ukraine and the use of frozen assets," Vysotska emphasized.According to the correspondent, Ursula von der Leyen, speaking in the European Parliament, noted that the European Commission has already prepared a legal justification for the use of frozen Russian assets for the benefit of Ukraine."That is, the matter is moving forward, but there is still a small piece of work left – to convince Belgium, on whose territory the frozen assets are located. But, perhaps, if all the leading leaders and the European Commission already have a plan, then Belgium may agree to it, if it is legally flawless," Vysotska added.Ukraine has accepted the core terms of a U.S.-brokered peace proposal to end the nearly four-year war with Russia, though critical details remain unresolved and Moscow has yet to publicly respond to the agreement.
