Bessent tells Russia's Siluanov no economic cooperation possible until war in Ukraine ends
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov that no easing of economic restrictions or agreements on other matters are possible while Russia's war in Ukraine continues, in a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the G20 finance ministers gathering in Asheville, North Carolina. The meeting took place as European representatives expressed dissatisfaction with Siluanov's first in-person attendance at a G20 financial meeting since the start of the full-scale invasion.
