U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen communicated to Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov that Russia will not receive any economic concessions while its invasion of Ukraine continues. The message, delivered during a recent meeting, firmly rejects any possibility of easing sanctions or financial pressure as a pathway to negotiation. Yellen emphasized that a just resolution to the conflict in Ukraine is a prerequisite for any shift in the U.S.'s economic policy toward Russia. She reiterated the U.S.'s commitment to holding Russia accountable for its actions and supporting Ukraine. The stance signals a continued hard line from Washington, dismissing potential appeals from Moscow for relief from financial constraints. This firm position underscores the U.S.'s unwavering support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
