defense forces opt pairing for rational, where they've blown up bridges where they have tried to kind of block the roads in a way to prevent tanks moving across that pretty wide that the russians are going to build pontoon bridge to try and overwhelm the attempt to stop this happening. but it's kind of extraordinary to see the kind of range of people now in uniform bearing arms. you had someone who usually takes high school kids on mountain hiking trips. you had people, you had people who work managing supermarket, old people. and now suddenly in boots in uniforms with a gun on their shoulder at checkpoints, trying to look for rush asleep, regents or to stop looting happening. and it's kind of extraordinary seem to people who would in normal life and never come across until the now suddenly united by this danger to their homes. you as president biden has announced a ban on importing russian oil. that's in response to the invasion of ukraine. the move comes as the united states struggles with rising fuel prices and inflation.

the u. s. impulse only a small percentage of its oil from russia, but the band is expected to push oil prices even higher. of the more no, some joined by d. w is corrina chee more in washington dc. so county than just walk us through what exactly this oil ban will mean the band, the aims to weaken rushes economy even more and more. he lobbied and said that they want to keep pressure on president putin and m his war machine. and president biden said that he doesn't want to subsidize this war. and the thing is, oil and gas exports are the backbone of russia's economy and the revenue of this business of guys and oil exports make half of the budget of the kremlin. so this would be painful for russia and it will have an impact. that's what they hope on the money they need to keep this war ongoing. and now the administration has been

involved in talks with the european allies on this for several weeks. biden's poke yesterday for 2 hours with tensor shawls from germany. president mccall from france and also with prime minister johnson from the u. k. we know that the u. k. now is also going to ban all imports from russia by the end of this year. and if germany and france will follow, that remains an answer. they are, of course, much more dependent on russian gas and oil. then the u. s. is there support for this in the united states? and how is that going to affect the american people? it is, of course, going to affect the american people heavily energy prices are already high, and old prizes have already a reason for 58 percent worldwide since the beginning of, of the year and gas prices. how old and i have not reached an old time high. so

a ban on the russian oil imports means that the prices are going to go even higher . oh, and they are going to stay painful high before the citizens m as so all these are will come in addition to, to an inflation. we have right now the highest inflation in the last 40 years in the united states. and let's not forget that this is also happening in an election year. the mid term elections are in november this year, and the democrats might lose support to because of the economics to asia, the situation that republicans have already been criticizing for months. and how much pressure is this likely to put on rushes, president vladimir putin. it should be painful for russia gas and oil revenue makes about a half of the prevalence budget as i mentioned. so, um this business is quite critical importance war in a ukraine,

but we also know that mr. brewton is not a rational president, so it is difficult to say if this is going to stop him, if the pressure is going to be enough to make him as stop that war on that invasion in ukraine county, that's he more speaking to wants from washington d. c, thank you, carlino. now there's been movement on a reported 3 way deal between poland and the united states. that would see ukraine supplied with m i g 29 fighter jets, poland. foreign ministry says it's willing to give us entire fleet of soviet era jets to the disposal of the u. s, but the u. s. says it wasn't consulted by poland. of the w nato expert. terry schultz has wall on the significance of this proposed deal. poland has announced it's willing to hand over. it's make 20 nines to, to the united states. we don't know yet whether the united states is prepared to

take them even though we do know this has been under discussion for days. your secretary of state tony blink, and confirmed that over the weekend. so we know that this has been something that poland and the united states have been discussing. and of course we hear from ukraine daily that they need more fighter aircraft. of course, they'd really like a no fly zone, but that's not not in the works at the moment. so we need to see whether this happens as i understand at the polish government, would then expect the united states to take over any of the roles that the megs are playing at the moment because once they leave. so this is really a deal in the works and we're seeing the negotiation sort of play out in public. so there are a lot of, of, of pieces still in the, it's still in play here. terry shells reporting that from brussels. well, let's take a look at some of the other developments in the conflict. mcdonalds is temporarily closing all of it's 1850 restaurants in russia. the chain says it can no longer ignore the human suffering unfolding in ukraine. it staff will continue to get paid
