KYIV ¨C U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen paid a surprise visit to Kyiv on Monday to reaffirm U.S. support for Ukraine in its struggle against Russia¡¯s invasion and promote U.S. economic aid that is bolstering Ukraine¡¯s war effort.
Yellen met with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, 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, flanked by sandbags at the cabinet ministers¡¯ office, told Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, in a trip also aimed at shoring up support at home for continued aid.
