Hillary Clinton Calls for 'Even Greater Costs' for Putin Amid Ukraine War

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Sunday that "now is the time" for the United States to "double down on the pressure" on Russia, as the country's invasion of Ukraine continues.
In an interview on NBC's Meet the Press, Clinton said: "The only way that we're going to end the bloodshed and the terror that we're seeing unleashed in Ukraine and protect Europe and democracy is to do everything we can to impose even greater costs on Putin."
She also added that
Russia shouldn't be allowed back into world organizations it has been a part of, including the G20, a group of the world's largest economies that regularly convenes for summits.
"I think there is an upcoming G20 event later in the year, I would not permit Russia to attend, and if they insisted on literally showing up, I would hope there would be a significant, if not total boycott," Clinton said, adding that
there are additional Russian banks "that can be sanctioned and taken out of the so-called SWIFT relationship."
