Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said European Union member countries are expressing concern about the possible consequences of confiscating frozen Russian assets.
As the politician said after the European Council summit in Brussels, discussions on this issue continue, since such measures can have serious legal and economic consequences, and there is no precedent for such decisions in world practice.
Tusk clarified that we are talking about the assets of the Central Bank of Russia and not about Belgian funds. He also noted that the EU is trying to convince Belgium, which holds a significant portion of the assets, of its willingness to share responsibility and create a European responsibility-sharing mechanism.
Tusk called for pressure on Russia, not Ukraine
Separately, the Polish Prime Minister pointed out the traditional stance of Hungary and Prime Minister Viktor Orban of opposing any encroachment on Russian property.
Previously, it was reported that Germany could lose more than 100 billion euros due to confiscation of Russian assets.
