I wonder why it is up to us for this, surely we aren’t the only ones with Russian frozen-assets. Why are we being pushed around for this?
I’m in general not a big fan of BDW, but think he’s right in this case. It’s absurd that Belgium should carry the full risk of releasing the assets, while it is clearly a European decision and therefore should be a shared responsibility.
More quotes from said letter available here

ps. Does somebody have access to the full letter? Can you post it here?
Just to recall, all EU member states have an interest in Euroclear Bank.
Most EU member states issue sovereign bonds through Euroclear Bank, their companies issue corporate bonds through Euroclear Bank, and their citizens hold pension investments through Euroclear Bank. Euroclear also operates the national CSDs in FR, NL, FI, SE.
Belgium should make it clear there is a common EU interest in preserving Euroclear Bank’s integrity. It’s not just a Belgian problem.
Good let anglo warmongers finance and fight their own wars.
I agree with him about the legality of releasing assets.
But not on „it won’t help peace in Ukraine“. There won’t be peace in Ukraine, Putin won’t let it go. He is playing Putin’s carpet.
