BENGALURU, India (AP) — Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen says the U.S. will push for tougher, better enforced sanctions against Russia and is hoping for a “fully funded” package of financial support for Ukraine. Yellen spoke Thursday in Bengaluru, India, where she’s attending meetings of financial leaders of the Group of 20 leading economies. She says the global economy is “in a better place” than several months ago but warns that “we’re not out of the woods yet.” Yellen also urged faster progress in resolving debt crises threatening the stability of a growing number of countries. She called on China to work with other donor nations in addressing the problem.
