Hillary Clinton says G20 members should hold a boycott if Russia insists on attending meetings

• Hillary Clinton said G20 members should boycott if Russia insists on attending future events.
• "I would not allow Russia back into the organizations that it has been a part of," Clinton said on "Meet the Press." 
• She said she believes there is more to be done to increase pressure and stress on Putin and Russia. 

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Sunday that G20 members should hold a boycott if Russia insists on attending future events.

"I would not allow Russia back into the organizations that it has been a part of," Clinton told Chuck Todd on on NBC's "Meet the Press" when asked if there is world where Russian President Vladimir Putin is let back into world organizations.

"I think there is an upcoming G20 event later in the year," she added. "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."

"The only way we're going to end the bloodshed and the terror we're seeing unleashed in Ukraine and protect Europe and democracy is to do everything we can to impose even greater costs on Putin," Clinton said. 

Todd also asked if she felt the United States was "holding back" against Putin and Russia, to which Clinton said she thinks the US is looking at this war with "our eyes wide open." 

"We're seeing very clearly the threat he poses not just to Ukraine ... But really to Europe, to democracy, and the global stability we thought we were building in the last 20 years," Clinton said.

She added that she agrees with Secretary of State Antony Blinken that the US has to keep the pressure on Russia.  

"I think now is the time to double down on the pressure," she told Todd. "Let's focus on what we're doing right now to help protect and defend the Ukrainian people's right to be a free democratic nation."
