After meeting with Ukrainian Finance Minister Serhiy Marchenko on Monday, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen supported a “fully financed and adequately conditioned” IMF program for Ukraine by March.
Treasury said Yellen’s unexpected visit to Kyiv on Monday praised Marchenko’s efforts to stabilize Ukraine’s economy and “keep emphasis on economic reforms not with standing Russia’s unwarranted and cruel conflict.”
She said she supported a multi-agency donor coordination mechanism for Ukraine to help the country handle near-term recovery and future reconstruction requirements with international partners.
