She recalled that, after the start of Russia's unprovoked aggression, the United States provided Ukraine with about $50 billion in security, economic, and humanitarian assistance. Yellen also noted that, despite the war, the Ukrainian government continues its fight against corruption. She welcomed the efforts undertaken by President Vodymyr Zelensky to ensure accountability and transparent management of financial resources Ukraine receives from donors.

"Looking ahead, we know that Ukraine’s process of rebuilding the economy flowing its victory is critical to its long-term future. That’s why we’ve been strong supporters of the multi-agency donor coordination platform for Ukraine, and the U.S. will remain by your side at every step of the way," Yellen said.

As reported earlier, Shmyhal said that the United States had agreed to allocate more than $10 billion to Ukraine by September 2023 to cover the budget deficit.
