|December 13, 2025
SIR Keir Starmer was due to raise using frozen Russian assets to help Ukraine in a meeting with the Belgian premier amid resistance in Brussels to the move.
-
The Prime Minister hosted Bart De Wever yesterday afternoon for Downing Street talks which also covered migration and economic growth.
Britain has said it is ready to move in tandem with the EU to unlock immobilised Russian sovereign assets, the vast majority of which are held in Belgium, to support Kyiv financially.
Brussels has opposed the move, citing legal and financial risks and calling on other nations in the trading bloc to share the risk.
