(Bloomberg) — US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen urged European finance chiefs to move ahead with plans for €50 billion ($52.7 billion) in fresh aid to Ukraine while pledging the White House, and a majority in Congress, will “fight” to provide new US assistance.
The Biden administration’s top envoy for Ukraine recovery arrived in Kyiv to underscore the US’s continued commitment. Former Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker met with President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and other top officials, as well as representatives from the private sector and the American Chamber of Commerce.
Ukraine is bringing back four children who were illegally taken by Russia, according to Andriy Yermak, Zelenskiy’s chief of staff. Qatar intervened as a mediator to secure their return, the Washington Post reported, citing a government official briefed on the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive diplomatic negotiations.
