(251219) -- BRUSSELS, Dec. 19, 2025 (Xinhua) -- Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever attends an EU summit in Brussels, Belgium, Dec. 18, 2025.
Guarantees proposed by the European Union (EU) for using frozen Russian assets to finance Ukraine were "still insufficient," said Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever on Thursday, warning that Belgium would not bear the risks alone.
Addressing the Belgian parliament ahead of an EU summit, De Wever said he had not seen a final text from the EU on guarantees that could persuade Belgium to agree on, and expected that clearer documents would be presented later in the day. (Xinhua/Peng Ziyang)
