On Oct. 11, Belgian PM Alexander De Croo held a joint press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, during which he announced plans to create a special fund to support Ukraine, amounting to EUR 1.7 billion this year.
Funds for this initiative will come from frozen Russian assets in Belgium. Zelenskyy noted that Belgium would be the first country to use Russian assets to support Ukraine.
