Wendy Sherman, one of the most powerful diplomats in the world, is known as the Silver Fox (“silver fox”) because of her snow-white mane and cunning bargain-making style.

This Wednesday he participated in the talks between the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and Russia in Europe.

Sherman, the US undersecretary of state, met with Russian officials this week to discuss Ukraine. The stakes are high.

President Vladimir Putin has deployed around 100,000 Russian troops near the Ukrainian border, raising fears of an incursion and warnings from the West.
