US Treasury Sec Yellen: US will continue to impose severe consequences on Putin and Russia over Ukraine war
US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Wednesday that the US will continue to impose severe consequences on Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russia over the invasion of Ukraine. Russia will increasingly become an economic island, she continued, saying that the US is prioritising sanctions on oligarchs key to Putin's power and assembling a task force with the Justice Department to "uncover, freeze and seize" their wealth.
