April 17, 2024

WASHINGTON – Today, Secretary Yellen participated in the 5th Ukraine Ministerial Roundtable,
chaired by Prime Minister Denis Shmyhal, IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva, and
World Bank President Ajay Banga. Secretary Yellen commended the Government of Ukraine for
prudently managing its economy, providing for its people, and continuing to fight corruption
and strengthen governance, all while valiantly standing up to Russiaʼs brutal aggression. She
welcomed the strong support for Ukraine from its international partners, including the
international financial institutions, and reiterated the commitment of the United States to
support Ukraine and to degrade Russiaʼs war machine. She also welcomed agreement with
the World Bank to contribute $255 million to support Ukraineʼs critical export transportation
needs as well as private sector investment in Ukraine via the World Bankʼs Ukraine Relief,
Recovery, Reconstruction and Reform Trust Fund and MIGAʼs Support to Ukraineʼs
Reconstruction and Economy Trust Fund.
