Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Tuesday called for the US and its allies to hand $300 billion in frozen Russian central bank funds to Ukraine, a step that would significantly escalate the Western economic war against Russia. The comments from Yellen mark her most supportive statement of the outright theft of Russian funds to finance the war in Ukraine.

The White House has come out in support of the plan and says it needs “legislative authorities” from Congress to spend the funds. Legislation has been introduced in both chambers of Congress to create a fund for Ukraine using Russian money, and the bills have strong bipartisan support.
