Russiaʼs brutal aggression. Secretary Yellen commended the Government of Ukraine for its
prudent economic management and stressed the need to continue fighting corruption and
strengthen accountability and good governance. She welcomed the strong support for
Ukraine from international partners, including the international financial institutions, and
reiterated the commitment of the United States to] support Ukraine alongside our allies for
