SCRIPT:

Allies assure Ukraine that even though peace negotiations seem to be going nowhere — neither is NATO.
 
SOT: Mark Rutte, NATO Secretary General
“Putin believes he can outlast us. But we are not going anywhere. Today is yet another clear sign that he is wrong. We are strengthening our support for Ukraine and increasing pressure on Russia.”
 
Meanwhile, across town from NATO headquarters, the European Commission unveiled a long-awaited proposal to make Russia pay for the damage it’s doing to Ukraine
 
SOT: Ursula von der Leyen, EU Commission President
We would use the cash balances from the mobilized Russian assets in the European Union. We're providing them to Ukraine as a loan, and Ukraine has to pay back this loan if and when Russia is paying reparations.
 
Von der Leyen proposes using 90-billion euros of immobilized Russian money in this way, which she says — when added to other international contributions — would finance Ukraine for two years.  
 
This is a popular option with many European governments.
 
SOT: David van Weel, Dutch foreign minister
“We do believe that this is the only viable option.”
 
Exactly the opposite view from Belgium — where most of the Russian assets are held.
 
SOT: Maxime Prevot, Belgian Foreign Minister
“we consider the option of the reparations loan the worst of all.”
 
Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot says the EU commission’s proposal does not address his government’s fear Moscow could reclaim the cash, all billed to Belgium.
 
SOT: Maxime Prevot, Belgian Foreign Minister
“It is not acceptable to use the money and leave us alone facing the risks.<flash> we demand that the risks Belgium is facing as a result of this scheme are fully covered.”
 
And since the matter of using the frozen assets is not technically a NATO issue, the fact that it was widely discussed at least in the margins of the ministerial shows just how significant it is.
 
SOT: Maria Stenergard, Swedish foreign minister
“The frozen assets is a potential game changer.”
 
But first the Belgian mind needs to be changed.
 
SOT: David van Weel, Dutch foreign minister
“We're willing to provide the Belgians with some assurance that they won't be left alone if something like that occurs. But in what form or shape we'll have to see over the coming weeks.”
 
They’ve only got two. Von der Leyen has pledged to have this tricky issue settled by the next EU summit on December 18th.
