it's not clear yet, as we heard from wendy sherman earlier this morning, it's not clear who else may be on board for these quote consequences for china. how important is that? >> well, the problem is, as sweeping as the sanctions sound right now, europe is still buying a billion dollars worth of fuel from russia every day. that is keeping this war machine going. so it's going to take weeks, if not months for moscow to really feel the pain from this concerted effort across a number of allies and partners and we don't know if ukraine has that long. yes, russian forces are stalled but reinforcements are apparently on the way, and with a new group of russian soldiers, they could start pushing ahead again. meanwhile what the ukrainian military has to do is buy time for those sanctions to bite, and for something to happen in moscow so that putin relents. >> kim, question. going into this, the concern had been what message does china take regarding taiwan from russia's invasion of ukraine? we've seen the world come together with punishing economic sanctions on russia for the invasion as wel

. >> dana: you listen to the deputy secretary of state wendy sherman speaking to the u.n. case. >> russian forces have laid siege to cities like mariupol where citizens have been left without food, water, heat, or electricity in the depths of winter. people have resorted to melting snow for drinking water. five weeks ago mariupol was at peace. today its residents are dying. >> dana: you see i'm sure on the ground the suffering and the mental health and anguish, sarah. >> absolutely. these are families that not long ago had normal lives. not that unlike what we experience in america. now, of course, you see families being separated, the father staying behind. many women are staying behind to fight and have a commitment to their country and the children are horrified by what is going on and the inability and helplessness that so many around the world field in standing with and supporting ukraine. we're proud to do it and know we represent the hearts of many americans who say we are all in with ukraine but being able to get in there when we're dealing with such a nightmare re

deputy secretary of state wendy sherman shared this on fox news sunday.all of the parties, including russia, which has indicated its got some concerns to bring this to a close. you know, we are very concerned about what iran is doing. but imagine these iranians with a nuclear weapon. we need to get that off the table so we can address their malign behavior in the middle east, according to the new york times of previous holed up in talks involved a request for washington to lift sanctions against the iranian revolutionary guard. even if those sanctions remained others would likely be lifted under a renewed agreement. can you imagine you actually lifting sanctions on someone who is targeting you? i cannot understand what is the reasoning behind the wish of the new administration to run to this deal. republicans fear that the biden administration, loosening sanctions will only allow iran to build up its nuclear program. in washington. alexandria hoff fox news well, there are growing concerns that the kremlin may use americans detained in russia as leverage a

. >> reporter: i just know what's going on at the state department including wendy sherman who was a r in the think tank when wendy was between the tenure at the state department and now coming back durt trump years and worked together closely and suzie george her long-time aide and now chief of staff for tony blinken at the state department so the women followed in her footsteps in their careers just incredibly enhanced by knowing her and following the example. i just know that has a woman covers the first woman secretary of state she was extraordinary. small story if i may. >> sure. >> she told me that one of the goals -- i stopped by and got a quick interview part of which was in that tribute we wrote about her and she could not do an interview but if you happen to stop by outside my house i couldn't not stop and talk to you. we had that interview the day she was sworn in and cool and memorable and a thing she wanted to do is break up the gender discrimination for diplomats, women diplomats at the state department and after sworn in she invited the press corps up with those congrat

deputy secretary of state wendy sherman was on that trip with her as madeleine albright met with kimsomebody she did it plainly and boldly but that both sides of the aisle respected her career. >> really interesting, to even note that she weighed in in the final weeks before her death, weighed in on the potential invasion of russia into ukraine, saying that vladimir putin would be making an historic error if he were to proceed with a full scale invasion saying his revisionist and absurd assertion that ukraine was entirely created by russia and robbed from the russian empire is fully in keeping with his warped world view. most disturbing to her she writes, his attempt to establish the pretext for a full scale invasion. should he do so, it will be an historic error, said the former top u.s. diplomat. that was just obviously days, about a week before vladimir putin moved into ukraine. remarkable even in her final days, to your point, she always weighed in on foreign policy. >> she really did, and she had a big voice. if she said something on foreign policy, people paid attention to it.

wendy sherman had a chance to speak to andrea mitchell at noon.elations with everything you're seeing on your screen. >> if russia were to break relations with the u.s., wouldn't that mean closing our embassy? >> it may indeed mean closing our embassy. i don't want to get ahead of threats or hypotheticals here. we think it's important, always, to maintain diplomatic relationships because that's a method of communications and that's particularly critical in this circumstance. but that said, i think that what we're seeing by that message, if that is indeed what's been conveyed to ambassador sullivan this morning, you're ahead of me on that. it is -- just shows how desperate president putin is becoming, because his military has not operated in the way he'd hoped. he certainly was not received by -- with open arms, which is what he told the russian people. >> reporter: and so the pivot point this weekend seems to be a military that is bogged down, technically, that cannot move as fast as it wants to, and so it is changing its strategy to now target re

does have someone trying to negotiate peace, that is wendy sherman, longtime diplomat. this is what she had to say about the economic and diplomatic pressure on russia. >> right now, it looks like it ends very badly. for the ukrainian people, we spent every day horrified at the suffering of the people, as your reporter discussed. it is awful, particularly in mariupol, where people are going to die. it is horrifying. there are two objectives we have, to support ukraine in every way that we can. we have put 1.2 billion dollars forwarding security assistance to help ukraine defend itself against this horrible attack. the second is to put an norma's pressure on vladimir putin who tried to change the calculus, to get a cease fire, to get humanitarian corridors, and to end this invasion. that pressure can to have some effect. we are being to see some signs of a willingness to have serious negotiations. but as your reporter said, so far, it appears vladimir putin is intent on destroying ukraine. we need to help ukrainians in every way that we can. host: rip in fredericksburg,

we heard from wendy sherman say she does feel the russians are a little more serious now about talks when this war is going to end but at a certain point, if some sort of solution is reached and putin is still in power when it does, what do you think, how does the rest of the world reengage with him? the guns stop, the rockets stop, the war the war is over, does the rest of the the world reconnect with him and what about the rest of russia? >> well, i think in some ways that's the $64,000 question because he can't -- he can take a lot of ukraine but he can't hold ukraine. so at some point or another he's going to want to get out of ukraine. he thinks when he does he's going to be able to move back into business as usual. of course ukraine is going to take hundreds of billions to rebuild and russia should pay for that and putin should pay for that. if the world pursues those things, he's not going to be welcomed back into the international community, nor are the other oligarchs involved. i think that's the right thing. we need tone sure there are consequences that last long after the
