BRUSSELS — Approving the reparations loan for Ukraine will give the European Union greater leverage at the negotiating table to end Russia's war, High Representative Kaja Kallas has said in response to recent warnings by the Belgian prime minister."It will definitely strengthen the European position vis-à-vis Moscow, that's very clear.

Second message to Moscow, that they can't outlast us. And the third message is to Washington, that we are taking very strong and very credible steps," she said.Russians "don't want this reparations loan to...
