Yellen tells Ukraine’s Zelenskiy: anti-corruption fight is key to future

U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Wednesday pledged continued U.S. support for Ukraine for "as long as it takes," and urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to stay focused on fighting corruption and strengthening governance. Yellen said the fourth meeting of a high-level roundtable on Ukraine, taking place during the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, reflected "continued condemnation of Russia’s aggression and of the robust international support for Ukraine from its allies and partners." She said the United States would continue to provide robust economic support to Ukraine, but countries affected by Russia's blockade of Ukrainian food exports also needed more help.
