U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen makes surprise visit to Ukraine as the war enters its second year

 
U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has followed in the footsteps of her boss, President Joe Biden, making 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.

Meeting with the Ukrainian President, the Treasury chief commended Zelensky for his leadership and resolve in the face of Russia’s “illegal and unprovoked” invasion.

“As we mark one year since the beginning of this full-scale invasion, the message I bring you from President Biden is simple: ‘America will stand with Ukraine as long as it takes,'” Yellen said.

“And today I am proud to announce the transfer of an additional amount of over 1.2 billion dollars. That’s the first tranche of about ten billion dollars in direct support that the United States will provide in the coming months.”

Yellen met with President Volodymyr Zelensky and Ukrainian Prime minister Denys Shmyhal.

Shmyhal said the two discussed further U.S. sanctions on Russia as well as “confiscating frozen Russian assets.”

Yellen’s visit comes a week after U.S. President Joe Biden staged his own unannounced trip to Kyiv and promised $500 million in additional military aid for Ukraine and new sanctions on Russia announced days later, including effectively banning U.S. imports of Russian aluminium.

Yellen visited Kyiv on her way back to Washington from a G20 finance leaders meeting in India, where she urged counterparts to boost economic aid to Ukraine and insisted that G20 ministers issue a strong condemnation of Russia’s invasion. #trending #featured

Why Australia is becoming the new home of the Hollywood blockbuster

Published

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

U.S. home prices surge 47%

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
