so the money we will win anyway. military analysts say the russian onslaught will likely get worse in the coming days. russian forces are increasingly turning to shelling civilian areas and infrastructure while their tanks and troops are bogged down outside key cities. in the port city of odessa, residents are mounting barricades in front of the beloved opera house. so far the city hasn't been head. but if the experience of the last several days is any guide, anyone who stays behind should be prepared for the worst. and d w, nick connelly has more on the situation in keith for now in downtown keep where i am now this to that, christy. there's still heating, there's still a mobile phone network, so that makes life bearable. there are definitely more people here than you would think to on the streets pretty empty. apart from journalists and soldiers, and the occasional person working at all during pursuit market. we were out in the

suburbs today, not far from it being slightly from the south in an area where the local turturro defense forces are preparing 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 pre way that the russians are going to build pontoon bridge to try and overwhelm the attempt to stop this happening. it was 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 soup markets. all these people are now suddenly in boots in uniforms with a gun on their shoulder. checkpoints, trying to look for rational sleeper agents or to stop looting happening. and it's kind of extraordinary theme to people who would in normal life and never come across each other. now suddenly, united by this danger to their homes. the pentagon says an offer by poland to put its entire fate of m. i g. 29. fight to jets at the disposal of the united

states is not tenable. warsaw unveiled the plan off to ukraine, made a plea for help in its fight against russian forces. ukrainian pods have already been trying to fly the jets. the pentagon says the prospect of jets leaving a us nato based in germany to fly into as space contested by russia is concerning the deputies nato eggs. but terry schultz has more on the significance of this proposed deal. poland has announced it's willing to hand over. it's make 2092 to the united states, so 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 blinking 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 from brussels or u. s. president or by that has also announced a ban on importing russian oil. that's in response to the invasion of ukraine. the move comes as the united states struggled with rising fuel prices and inflation. the u. s. in ports only a small percentage of its oil from russia, but the band is expected to push oil prices even higher. today i'm announcing united states is targeting the minority of russian economy. were banding all in ports of russian oil and gas, new g. that means russian oil no longer be accessible us porch and american people will deal another powerful blow to put information. this is

a move that has strong bipartisan support. congress and i believe in the country. mergers of rally support have really to support the ukrainian people and made it clear we will not be part of subsidizing of more less. i'm joined by the deputies carrying a ci more in washington dc. so county and just walk us through what exactly this oil ban will mean the ban ames to we can rash us 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. the thing is, oil and gas exports are the backbone of fresh us economy and the revenue off this business of gas 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 a tensor shawls from germany. president mccall from france and also with a prime minister johnson from the u. k. we know that the u. k. now, is also going to been oil 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 than yes. is there support for this in the united states? and how is it going to affect the american people? it is, of course, going to affect the american people heavily energy prices are already high and low prices 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 and they are going to a state painful high for the citizens m as so all these are will come in addition 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 like he to put on rushes, president vladimir putin. it should be painful for russia gas and oil revenue makes about a half of the kremlin budget, as i mentioned. so 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. tanina 2 more speaking to us from washington, d. c. thank you, carlino or his look of some of the other developments taking place in the conflict fits ratings agency has downgraded brushes debt rating by 6. not just to see say that a default is imminent. the ratings agency said sanctions and trade restrictions could undermine russia's willingness to service it's dead. western sanctions have thrown the country's financial markets into turmoil after an invasion of ukraine. mcdonalds is temporarily closing all of its 850 restaurants in russia. the train says it had no longer ignore the human suffering unfolding in ukraine. estoppel
