The European Union is scrambling for ways to keep funding flowing to Ukraine as the country approaches the fourth anniversary of Russia’s invasion. The European Commission has put forward a complex scheme to use some €210 billion of Russian central bank assets frozen in the bloc to generate a loan for Ukraine. But Belgium remains opposed to the plan. It is concerned about possible retaliation from Russia. DW speaks to Hugo Dixon, British campaigner and principal architect of the plan to use Russia’s frozen assets to help finance Ukraine’s military campaign.
