Secretary Yellen also discussed ways to unlock the value of immobilized Russian sovereign assets to support Ukraine’s continued resistance and long-term reconstruction, and ways to constrain Russia’s access to the goods it needs to build weapons, including the role China plays in supplying Russia’s military industrial complex.  Secretary Yellen also addressed the Iranian regime’s attack on Israel, affirming that the Treasury Department would not hesitate to work with its allies to use its economic tools to continue disrupting the regime’s malign and destabilizing activity.
