WASHINGTON, May 17 (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen will push fellow G7 finance officials next week to agree to a plan to bring forward the interest earnings on frozen Russian assets to provide more money to Ukraine quickly, a senior U.S. Treasury official said on Friday.
The official told reporters ahead of Yellen's May 21-25 trip to Frankfurt, Germany and the Group of Seven finance ministers and central bank governors meeting, that the G7 is "making progress" toward consensus on a plan to harness Russian sovereign assets frozen since Moscow's 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
