Russia Targets Belgium - Joe Blogs

In today’s video, we look at Russia’s latest move against Europe — a major legal action that puts Belgium right in the firing line.

Russia’s central bank has launched a lawsuit targeting Euroclear, the Belgium-based financial institution holding the bulk of Europe’s frozen Russian assets. On the surface, this looks like a technical court case. In reality, it’s a direct challenge to the European Union’s strategy — and it’s exposing serious divisions inside the EU.

We break down what Russia is claiming, why Belgium is such a critical pressure point, how much money is at stake, and why this lawsuit matters even if Russia never wins a case in a European court.

We also look at the growing infighting within the EU, with some countries pushing to use frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine, while others worry about legal retaliation, financial instability, and becoming the next target.

This isn’t just a legal dispute. It’s a financial, political, and strategic confrontation — and it could have major consequences for Europe’s ability to fund Ukraine in the years ahead.
