Speaking at a press conference on the sidelines of a meeting of G20 finance officials, Yellen called on the international community to hold Russia accountable for the war that has unleashed a war that has included sharp changes in energy prices and reduced food security..

Yellen did not answer the question of whether she would leave during the speech of Russian officials, as she and other Western leaders did in April during the last such meeting in Washington.. The head of the Ministry of Finance stressed, however, that she would condemn Russia's invasion of Ukraine "

“I think I made it clear that Russia’s participation in these meetings cannot continue to be business as usual,” she said, adding that she was looking forward to meeting with the Ukrainian finance minister..

Yellen said she will continue to push for a cap on Russian oil prices, which she says will help lower energy prices and keep global oil flows after European and possibly British and US sanctions on.
