The Belgian Conservative member of the EU Parliament Johan Van #Overtveldt said “If you take those €200 billion as a total [by confiscating them], where is his [Putin's] incentive to come to the peace negotiations?”

These proposals come amid mounting concerns about #Moscow's retaliation ― including cyberattacks.
