Belgian authorities have also faced pressure after recent drone incidents over airports and military bases there, which some in Germany warned might be read as a message from Moscow aimed at deterring moves on the frozen assets; Russia has denied involvement and warned of a \u201cpainful response\u201d if its assets are seized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The EU\u2019s proposals are part of a broader push to find ways to finance Ukraine\u2019s defence and reconstruction without relying solely on member states\u2019 budgets.
