[Video] Bart De Wever criticizes Friedrich Merz as EUCO summit fails to seize Russian assets

Video: Bart De Wever takes a dig at Friedrich Merz regarding the EUCO summit's failure to seize Russian assets. The video captures De Wever's remarks about the importance of small and medium-sized member states in European decisions.

Essential facts: The EUCO summit occurred on December 19, 2025, where Belgium and six other countries opposed the seizure of Russian assets. The EU decided to provide 90 billion Euros to Ukraine instead of the promised 140-210 billion Euros, and the Mercosur free trade deal was postponed due to opposition from France and Italy. The EU is depicted as increasingly divided.
