Belgium's Prime Minister Bart De Wever blocked a €140 billion loan plan for Ukraine during an EU summit, demanding guarantees from member states regarding financial risks. Despite intense discussions, leaders failed to address his concerns, leading to weaker conclusions about future financial support for Ukraine. The plan, involving Russian assets held in Euroclear, remains in early stages, with hopes for a decision at the next summit in December. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy emphasized the urgency for funding by 2026.
