在1月6日国务院新闻发布会的开场中，发言人内德·普赖斯的评论要点摘录如下:
…
首先，#布林肯国务卿#、奥斯汀国防部长和美国驻日本大使拉姆·伊曼纽尔（Rahm Emanuel）将在今天与日本外务大臣林芳正及防务大臣岸信夫以视频形式举行“2022年美日安全磋商委员会会议”，或称为“2+2”会议。“2+2”会议是美日外交和国防政策合作的一个成熟的论坛。
会议期间，代表们将讨论美国和日本加强我们联盟关系并使其现代化的方法，以促进自由开放的印太地区和应对COVID-19大流行、气候危机和其他全球挑战。
…
接下来，就像你们今天看到的，我们高兴地宣布美国常务副国务卿温迪·R·谢尔曼（Weny R. Sherman）将于1月8日到13日前往瑞士和比利时。此行之前，我们与我们的欧洲盟友和伙伴进行了广泛的外交活动，以制定一个统一的方法来应对俄罗斯在乌克兰边境无端的军事集结，以及我们共同努力促使俄罗斯为了欧洲-大西洋地区的安全和稳定选择外交途径及采取措施缓和局势。
1月10日在日内瓦，常务副国务卿将率领美国代表团参加美俄双边战略稳定对话特别会议。与她共同参会的是来自国务院、国家安全委员会、国防部和联合参谋部的跨部门代表团。北约-乌克兰委员会也将于1月10日举行会议，朱莉·史密斯（Julie Smith）大使将作为美国代表。
常务副国务卿随后将于1月11日前往布鲁塞尔，与北约领导人、北约盟友及欧盟官员进行磋商，在俄罗斯侵略我们的伙伴乌克兰的背景之下继续就欧洲安全进行密切协调。1月11日，她将与欧盟机构代表会面，并与盟友共同筹备北约-俄罗斯理事会会议。1月12日，谢尔曼常务副国务卿将率美国代表团出席北约-俄罗斯理事会会议。
常务副国务卿参加战略稳定对话、北约及欧盟磋商是为缓和俄罗斯的军事集结和持续侵略乌克兰所造成的紧张局势而作出的一种外交努力。我们的外交接触将在1月13日举行的2022年欧安组织常设理事会第一次会议上继续进行，届时迈克尔·卡彭特（Michael Carpenter ）大使将领导美国与会。欧安组织是就欧洲安全问题进行多边对话的重要场合。在接下来的一天左右，我们将有更多关于所有这些的信息。
最后，美国仍然对哈萨克斯坦正在发生的紧急状态感到关切。我们以最强烈的措辞谴责暴力和破坏财产的行为，并向受影响的人表示最深切的同情。美国敦促哈萨克斯坦当局和人民通过尊重宪法机构、人权和媒体自由，包括通过恢复互联网服务，寻求以和平、建设性的方式解决紧急状态。
