At a NATO foreign ministers meeting in Brussels, European ministers, including those from Estonia and Finland, expressed skepticism about Russia's willingness to pursue peace in Ukraine. They cited Russia's continued aggression on the battlefield and lack of concessions as evidence that President Putin is not interested in peaceful resolution. Discussions also included a proposed EU reparations loan for Ukraine, backed by frozen Russian assets, which Belgium opposes due to potential economic, financial, and legal risks. The ministers are meeting to discuss the ongoing conflict and potential strategies moving forward.
