NIIGATA, Japan (Reuters) - Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Thursday will underscore the United States' commitment to continue supporting Ukraine for as long as needed, while working with other rich nations to degrade Russia's ability to wage war against its neighbor.

Yellen identified redoubled support for Ukraine as one of her three core priorities - along with bringing down inflation and bolstering long-term economic resilience - in excerpts of remarks she will give later Thursday ahead of meetings with her counterparts from Group of Seven rich nations in Japan.
