Last March, according to the head of the Belgian Cabinet of Ministers Alexander de Kroo, his state arrested 197 million euros of income from Russian assets. Belgium develops a mechanism for confiscation of income from frozen Russian assets that can be alienated and used. It is more than $ 200 billion. This was reported by the head of the Belgian Cabinet Alexander de Croo at a briefing in Hague with President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky and Prime Minister of the Netherlands Mark Rutte.

He stressed the volume that it is very important to transfer funds for the restoration of Ukraine. The politician believes that it is Russia who must pay for the losses and destruction that caused her troops. "Belgium will look for mechanisms that could make it reality," Alexander de Croo said. The head of the Belgian government also noted that last March Belgium arrested 197 million euros of income from Russian assets.

The state intends to use these funds to help Ukrainian refugees and support Ukraine. "I am sure that we have to go further - not only freeze interest from Russian assets, but also confiscate them," the politician explained. The politician added that Belgium uses profit from interest rates from frozen in the country 58 billion euros of Russian assets to assist Ukraine and is looking for an opportunity to increase the use of these funds even more.
