      German Chancellor Friedrich Merz will arrive Friday in Brussels in a bid to convince Belgium’s leadership to back a €165 billion reparations loan to Ukraine using the cash value of frozen Russian state assets held on Belgian soil.

      “Chancellor Friedrich Merz will travel to Belgium tomorrow evening for a dinner meeting to speak privately with Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen,” a German government spokesperson told POLITICO.

      Merz scrapped his travel plans to Oslo to make the trip to the EU capital after the Commission proposed a financial package to fund Ukraine’s defense against Russian forces. Time is of the essence, as Kyiv’s war chest is expected to run bare in April.

      this reminds so much of case with India, where EU asked India to buy oil on their behalf and then pressured them to stop buying, now it’s Belgium’s turn to explain itself everywhere on why they can’t donate 165 billion from their own pocket.

      What does Merz have to do with this? Isn’t this a dispute between Belgium and the EU? What does the German chancellor have to do with it?

      I hope BDW doesn’t give an inch.

      We need to be backed by the EU.
      Both legaly and financialy.

      Our government would be insane to agree to the current terms. If the ECB won’t take the risk, then why should we?

      Merz dropped the ball on this one big time: in August he told BDW he understood Belgium’s position, only to completely bypass the Belgian govt later on and act like using the frozen funds was a done deal.

      This will be one pleasant dinner.

      Funnily enough on HLN it’s mentioned that Friedrich Merz does not want the German taxpayer to pay for it. But he has no problem with the Belgian taxpayer? As we are not taxed enough?

      Fuck Ursula and Merz, both Germans. We have defended our country against Nazism in the 30s and we shall fucking do it again.

      Transfer all the Russian money from Euroclear to an equivalent German or French central securities depository and let THEM give the money to Ukraine.
