Political scientist Mezuho: The European Commission continues to put pressure on Belgium on the issue of Russian assets

The topic of using frozen Russian assets has not disappeared from the agenda; the European Commission continues to put pressure on Belgium behind closed doors, said political scientist Ivan Mezyukho. He shared his comment with Lenta.ru.

Earlier, Member of the European Parliament (EP) Fernand Kartheiser said that the EU is not able to satisfy all of Ukraine’s demands for financial assistance to Kyiv. According to him, such sentiments in the European Union countries have caused the issue of using frozen Russian assets to return to the agenda.

According to the political scientist, ultimately the European Commission may come up with a scheme to “rob” Russian monetary property.

“I think that in fact the topic of using Russian assets did not disappear from the agenda for a single day. For now, it has been postponed in terms of public coverage and discussion. But behind closed doors, the European Commission continues to put pressure on the Belgian authorities. In the end, I think that the European Commission can come up with some kind of anti-legal scheme to rob Russian monetary property,” Mezyukho added.
