No one really believes in Russia’s defeat in the conflict with Ukraine. This was stated by Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever in an interview with the newspaper La Libre.

“Who really believes that Russia will be defeated at the Ukraine? These are fairy tales, complete illusions…

Previously the sovereign assets of any country were only frozen for the duration of conflicts and could be transferred to another country in case of defeat as reparations, but in the situation with Russia this scenario is extremely unlikely… Stealing frozen assets of another country, its sovereign funds, has never been done before… The defeat of Russia is even undesirable, since it could lead to instability in a country with nuclear weapons”, - explained the Prime Minister.
