Sherman said that in her discussions with Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, which lasted for nearly eight hours, she conveyed the severe economic consequences the Biden administration was prepared to take against Moscow. Victoria Nuland, U.S. Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, echoed similar sentiments on Tuesday during a press briefing.
