U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has followed in the footsteps of her boss, and made a surprise trip to Kyiv
During the visit, Yellen reaffirmed Washington’s support for Ukraine in its struggle against Russia’s invasion, while promoting economic aid that is bolstering the country’s war effort.
Yellen met with President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, Finance Minister Serhiy Marchenko and other key government officials just days into the war’s second year, repeating U.S. assurances delivered by President Joe Biden a week ago in Kyiv.
“America will stand with Ukraine as long as it takes,” Yellen said.
