Yellen Urges US Congress Action On Ukraine Aid

G20 Finance Ministers and Central Banks Governors meeting

During a recent press conference, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen expressed concern over the US Congress's inaction on providing aid to Ukraine, stating that it could be seen as a 'gift' to Russian President Vladimir Putin and Iran.

Yellen emphasized the importance of supporting Ukraine in its efforts to defend itself against Russian aggression. She highlighted that failing to provide assistance could embolden Putin and Iran, potentially leading to further destabilization in the region.

The Treasury Secretary's remarks come at a critical time as tensions between Russia and Ukraine remain high. The US has previously pledged support to Ukraine, including military aid, to help bolster its defenses against Russian incursions.

Yellen's comments serve as a reminder of the strategic implications of US foreign policy decisions, particularly in the context of ongoing geopolitical conflicts. The lack of action by Congress on Ukraine aid could have far-reaching consequences not only for Ukraine but also for regional security and stability.

It is essential for the US government to demonstrate its commitment to supporting Ukraine and deterring Russian aggression through concrete actions. Yellen's statement underscores the urgency of providing assistance to Ukraine and standing firm against external threats to its sovereignty.
