Putin is the Hyacinth Bucket of great power leaders: it's all about keeping up appearances. Russia's a great power only to the extent that it can persuade others it is, because there's very little material basis for its pretensions to great power status. That's why Trump's deference is so important.

Belgium appears to have a secondary agenda in holding onto Russia's money thanks to the tax generated.
The diplomats said the money was still being folded into the Belgian national budget, making it impossible to determine whether Belgium is fully living up to its commitments to Kyiv.

Ah yes our clown of a PM.
The point he's making is that we need to protect the integrity of our banks and also that we might stand alone if russia sues us.
But honestly after all the EU guarantees that have already been made I don't see how that argument holds.
But he's got other priorities atm.

Now that Trump and Putin are about to pressure Zelensky while sidelining Europe, it would be a good time to give Ukraine some real leverage by announcing that we are giving Ukraine seized Russian assets.
Belgium’s fears cannot outweigh Ukraine’s survival. Let’s find a solution!
