finally, as both angela and i have repeatedly said, we want to see a diplomatic solution to the situation in ukraine. but we have also been clear that if the russian leadership does not changeoarse it will face increasing costs. the rubble has fallen to near all time lows, russian stocks have dropped sharply, and russia has slipped into recession. it is estimated that $100 billion in investments will exit russia this year. and russia's credit rating has been downgraded to just above junk status. in short the actions in ukraine are making an already weak economy even weaker. we have been consulting closely with our european and g-7 partners, and we're stepping up our planning. angela and i continue these consultations today. russian leadership must know if it continues to destabilize eastern ukraine and disrupt this month's presidential election, we will move quickly on additional steps including further sanctions, but that is a choice facing the russian leadership. our preference is a diplomatic resolution to this issue. and the ukrainian government has already shown itself more than willing to work through some of the issues that would ensure the rights of all ukrainians a

i have pointed to angela merkel's statement last week, which was a "game change"er.german position would be it would take a full invasion to justify the kind of sanctions we're talking about. what she said last week is that russian tampering could be enough to move ahead. and i think that kind of statement gives room for the u.s. to move a bit ahead of that and to start to move towards banking sanctions even without a full scale invasion. so in that sense i think the landscape has changed. >> all right. robert, thanks so much. we will watch and see. david cohen leaving this morning to go across europe and talk about the coordination of more sanction. maybe it does come to pass. good to see you. >> thanks for having me on. >> shares of adena health getting slammed after david eye horn announces he's shorting a stock. what other stocks are on the move? that's coming up next. and more economists hiking their gdp forecasts. jeff rosenberg will be our special guest at 8:00 a.m. eastern time. eastern time. ♪ ♪fame, makes a man take things over♪ ♪fame, lets him loose, hard

german chancellor angela merkel stood together in the white house rose garden to make the case for sanctions against russia and argue that coordinated sanctions will make president putin change course. this came four days after the u.s. announced a third round of russian sanctions against seven high-ranking russians all said to be part of putin's inner circle. they were hit with asset freezes and travel bans, and 17 russian countries were also sanctioned. russia's foreign deputy minister declaired the sanctions meaningful, shameful and disgusting. the american officials responsible for sanctions joins me now to talk about existing and future measures. david cohn is undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence at the united states treasury department. david, the united states seems dedicated to this path, yet most observers and experts don't think these sanctions will work, that they're too limited, too narrow, just a few people and banks. why are they wrong? >> the sanctions path we're pursuing, i think, is a strong and strategic path. what we have been doing is imposing sanctions on those involved in violating the sovereignty and the territorial integrity of ukra
