Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and other global financial leaders walked out of a G20 session as Russian officials were speaking on Wednesday in an effort to underscore Moscow's isolation following the invasion of Ukraine.

Yellen's counterparts from the UK and Canada joined the walkout, as did officials from Ukraine, while the session was taking place in Washington, D.C.

"The world's democracies will not stand idly by in the face of continued Russian aggression and war crimes," Canadian finance minister Chrystia Freeland said in a tweet about the walkout. "Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine is a grave threat to the global economy. Russia should not be participating or included in these meetings."
