Yellen Calls for Aid to Ukraine for Rebuilding

Ukraine faces significant financial needs due to the ongoing conflict. The government, despite challenges, continues to function but requires budget funding to support soldiers, employees, and pensioners. In the short term, Ukraine must repair critical utilities and services, while long-term reconstruction will need massive support akin to post-1945 Europe. Current international aid is insufficient, prompting President Biden to request an additional $33 billion from Congress. Global partners are urged to increase their financial support to ensure Ukraine's democracy prevails.
