lose trillions of foreign capital investment just to seize a handful of billions from Russia. EU really have some absolute morons running the show.

Yes and the objections of De Wever sound hollow.
„But it is hard to be that sympathetic to the Belgian position when its government is still sitting on upwards of €4bn in windfall profits from the immobilized CBR assets from 2022-2023, which has more than made up for its own aid commitments to Ukraine. Belgium is hence one of the lowest net contributors to Ukraine. And the impression sticks that Belgium is a free rider on other NATO allies, and now Ukraine, for its defense, given that it has been at the bottom of NATO defense spenders for decades. “
