BRUSSELS: Belgium Prime Minister Bart De Wever said Thursday that guarantees offered by the EU over a plan to use Russian assets for Ukraine are so far \u201cinsufficient\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cBelgium will not accept a solution where we are the only one bearing both the risks and the responsibility,\u201d De Wever told Belgian lawmakers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have not seen a text that could persuade me to give Belgium\u2019s agreement. I haven\u2019t seen it yet; I hope to see it today, but I haven\u2019t seen it yet,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, EU chief Ursula von der Leyen vowed that summit talks opening Thursday in Brussels will last as long as it takes to reach a deal on financing Ukraine for the coming two years.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to find a solution,\u201d she said as EU leaders gathered for make-or-break negotiations on using frozen Russian assets for Ukraine. \u201cWe will not leave the European summit without a solution for the funding of Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
