Belgium, home to most of those assets, warned of major financial and legal risks. At a Brussels summit, leaders softened their language, effectively delaying a decision for at least two more months and raising fresh doubts about the bloc’s commitment to Ukraine. On Friday, the coalition of the willing will meet in London to discuss further about the Ukraine support. France24 International Affairs Editor Philippe Turle gives his insights.
