Ukraine would only have to repay the funds if Russia compensated for the damage caused by its war. However, such use of frozen assets has sparked apprehension among several member states.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"877\" data-end=\"1189\">Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever said his country would not support the measure without guarantees of collective responsibility from all EU states. Belgium, which hosts the bulk of the frozen Russian assets, fears potential legal consequences and insists that risks must be shared among all member nations.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1191\" data-end=\"1464\">France and Luxembourg also questioned the legal soundness of the proposed mechanism. French President Emmanuel Macron stressed the importance of adhering to international law and voiced concerns over possible consequences for the euro\u2019s reputation as a reliable currency.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1466\" data-end=\"1725\">Despite broad support for the idea in principle, the EU acknowledged the need for further consultations and additional legal work on the proposal. The European Commission pledged to take member states\u2019 concerns into account and continue developing the plan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":150371,"menu_order":0,"template":"","newscat":[9],"newstag":[],"issues":[],"class_list":["post-150370","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","newscat-novosti"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/150370","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/150371"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=150370"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"newscat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newscat?post=150370"},{"taxonomy":"newstag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newstag?post=150370"},{"taxonomy":"issues","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issues?post=150370"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
