    This is about using illegally frozen Russian assets for loan. Both US and Belgium want to keep control over the funds, and terms where Ukraine only has to repay the loan if Russia begs to pay Ukraine government to accept its reconstruction funds is guaranteed to mean that Ukraine would never have to repay. Seems like performative posturing.

    Maybe Europe shouldnt take financial advice from a country that is going bankrupt.

    But they just print more money, so its fine.

    Well yes, they’re trying to steal this money for themselves. Or probably Trump himself personally.
