Speakers from almost all of Europe, including Argentina, are currently participating in a summit in the Swedish parliament. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is also participating via link.

The goal of the so-called Crimea Platform is to highlight the consequences of Russia's annexation of Crimea and increase pressure on Russia. At the end of the meeting, a joint final document is to be adopted.

In a speech on the link, Zelenskyy highlights, among other things, the importance of being able to use frozen Russian assets as collateral for interest-free loans to Ukraine.

It is necessary, so please get behind it, he says.

Russia still kills people every day.

Belgium holds around 2,000 billion Swedish kronor in frozen Russian assets. However, the country has been hesitant to use the money for the benefit of Ukraine due to fears of future Russian claims for damages.
