U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is calling on allies to boost their economic support for Ukraine, saying the support pledged so far will not be enough to meet the country's basic needs.

美国财政部长珍妮特·耶伦呼吁盟国增加对乌克兰的经济支持，她说，到目前为止承诺的支持将不足以满足乌克兰的基本需求。

In comments prepared for the Brussels Economic Forum, Yellen says while Ukraine will eventually need "massive support," for now it needs "budget funding to pay soldiers, employees and pensioners as well as to operate an economy that needs its citizens' basic needs."

耶伦在为布鲁塞尔经济论坛准备的评论中说，虽然乌克兰终将需要“大量支持”，但目前它需要“预算资金来支付士兵、雇员和退休人员的工资和养老金，以及运行一个满足公民基本需求的经济体。”

Yellen added that Ukraine's financing needs are significant.

耶伦补充说，乌克兰的融资需求很大。

She credited the bravery and ingenuity of the country's officials and keeping its economy going.

她赞扬了该国官员的勇敢和聪明才智，以及保持经济发展的努力。

周三可能会有援助，欧盟预计将提出一系列贷款，帮助乌克兰提供短期融资和长期重建方面的努力。
