Germany Pressures Belgium on EU Loan Plan for Ukraine

Germany and the European Union are trying to convince Belgium to agree to a plan that would use money that belongs to Russia, which is currently frozen in Belgium, to give a big loan to Ukraine.

Ukraine needs this money because it is running out and the United States is not helping as much as before.

Belgium is worried about legal problems if Russia sues over this.

The EU leaders are meeting soon to try and make a decision.

Some countries, like Hungary and Slovakia, are also not fully on board with the plan.

The EU is considering other options if this plan doesn't work, but some countries don't like those ideas either.
