So, she would press Russia?
I like such rhetorics.
It makes sense IMO.

If you go look in "my" not so bad dictionnary (thx bad manner)

among other possibilites press may mean : to try hard to persuade

It is not like she is going to press your huge and proud country like one would do with a lemon for some juice...
Mordran, my english isn't that bad.
I understand perfectly, what does she mean.
So, if she want to persuade Russia to do anything, my answer still remains: let her go on and try. We'll look at it.
