Belgium's decision on the Reparation Loan will shape Europe's security for years to come. As a citizen, you have the power to influence this critical moment. Here are five concrete actions you can take to help Belgium show leadership and support Ukraine's defense against Russian aggression.
1. 📱 Amplify the Message on Social Media
Make a post calling on Belgium to unblock the Reparation Loan and to put Ukrainian lives over profit.
How to do it:
- Use the hashtags #MakeRussiaPay and #UnblockReparationLoan
- Tag Prime Minister Bart De Wever and MPs from the Belgian coalition parties to increase visibility
- Share facts from this website about why Belgium's leadership is crucial
- Amplify posts from others who are speaking out
Why it matters: Social media pressure creates visibility and shows decision-makers that citizens are paying attention.
2. ✍️ Sign the Petition
Add your name to the petition addressed to the Prime Minister and the Belgian government urging them to unblock the reparation loan.
Every signature counts in demonstrating public support for using Russian frozen assets to support Ukraine's defense and eventual reconstruction.
Sign the Petition →3. 📧 Contact Belgian Decision-Makers
Reach out to Belgian officials to urge them to unblock the reparation loan. Choose the guide that applies to you:
🇧🇪 For Belgian Residents
Write to a Member of the Belgian Parliament or directly to Prime Minister Bart De Wever, calling on them to show leadership for European and Belgian security and to support the approval of the reparation loan.
Key points to include:
- Belgium is already paying the cost of Russian aggression (drone disruptions, sabotage)
- The Reparation Loan uses frozen Russian assets - not Belgian taxpayer money
- This is an opportunity for Belgium to lead Europe in defending our shared security
- Inaction will be more costly than action
For greater impact, publish your message on social media as well.
Find contact information for Belgian MPs and government officials through official channels.
🌍 For People Outside Belgium
You can still make your voice heard by contacting the Belgian Embassy in your country or the nearest Belgian diplomatic mission.
International pressure demonstrates that Belgium's decision has global implications for security and the rule-based international order.
