During an interview with CNN International Correspondent Paula Newton that was aired on Friday's broadcast of CNN International's "Amanpour," Special Presidential Envoy for Climate and former Secretary of State John Kerry said that Russia is doing "almost nothing sufficient...with respect to emissions reduction" and it's hard to have any climate talks with them due to their invasion of Ukraine. Kerry also responded to a question on whether the Obama administration should have responded more strongly to Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014 by stating, "I don't think that takes you anywhere with respect to what the situation is today."
