EU finance ministers will meet on Thursday to discuss ways to provide 152-163 billion USD to Ukraine, either by borrowing money or using frozen Russian assets.
Belgium, home to Euroclear, which holds the bulk of the Russian assets, has resisted the idea of using the frozen funds, fearing that Belgium could ultimately be held liable in court.
