As EU leaders meet in Brussels to decide on using frozen Russian assets for Ukraine, DW is out on the streets of the Belgian capital to ask what people think about the plan.

00:00I feel like it's not our money to give away, it's also it's gonna put the bank in like a bad
00:05light and even though we get a lot of pressure from the EU and all of the people I still feel
00:11like it's not our decision to make. Russia is looking at this situation for sure. You are not
00:16sure that Belgium will receive the money back so it's too too much risk to take. It's not a light
00:26thing to be taken just to take money out of someone's bank account whoever it is. I don't
00:31know if there's money on Luke oil or whatever Russian companies and just use it for other
00:36material. I think you have to be very prudent with that. I'm afraid they act violently against
00:45Belgium, against the Belgian state or the Belgian people. If something would happen like hey this
00:52is my money and they're gonna look at little Belgium. I can understand if all there is
00:57oh I don't know I have nothing to do with this and this is a bit what I feel that's happening
01:02right now and that's why Belgium is a bit like hey hey guys we have to write something down no?
01:08I'm super pro supporting Ukraine but not with money that's not ours.
