Yellen Urges Congress to Approve Stalled Ukraine Aid, Warning Delay Helps Putin
-
Yellen criticized Congress for failing to provide more aid to Ukraine, calling it a "gift" to Putin.

She said stalling aid allows Russia to gain ground while Ukraine ration ammunition and supplies.
-
Yellen referenced the recent death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny in a penal colony.

She said the House must show support for Ukraine after thousands of Russians protested Navalny's death.

Aid for Ukraine has been stalled in Congress for over a year due to divisions among lawmakers over tying it to border security.
