shelling civilian areas and infrastructure while their tanks and troops are bogged down outside key cities. in the port city of odessa, residents or mounting barricades in front of the beloved offer house. so far the city hasn't been head. but if the experience of the last several days is any guide, if anyone who stays behind should be prepared for the worst. and d w. nick connelly has more on the situation in keith. well, for now in downtown keep where i am now this to let christy, there's still heating. there's still a mobile phone network, so that makes life bearable. and there are definitely more people here than you would think, to walk around the streets pretty empty apart from journalists and soldiers, and the occasional person working at organ supermarket. we were out in the suburbs today, not far from it being slightly from the south in an area where the local territory defense forces are preparing for russian also, 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 chips. you had people, you had people who work managing supermarkets, all the people are now suddenly in boots in uniforms, with the gun on their shoulder checkpoints, trying to look for resolutely regions 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 make 29 fighter jets at the disposal of the united states is not tenable. also unveiled, the plan of ukraine made a plea for help and its fight against russian forces. ukrainian pilots have already

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 shoulds reporting for us from brussels. or you, as president joe biden has announced a ban on russian oil imports in response to the invasion of ukraine. the move comes as the united states struggles with rising fuel prices and inflation. the us impulse only a small percentage of its oil from russia. but the band is expected to push oil prices even higher. his president joe biden speaking earlier today i'm announcing united states is targeting the minority versus the economy. were banning all in ports of russian oil and gas. new g m is russian oil no longer be acceptable. u. s . ports to the american people will deal another powerful blow to put warmish. this is a move that has strong bipartisan support for congress. and i believe in the country . mergers of raleigh support have relatives for 3 ukrainian people and made it

clear we will not be part of subsidizing put war of the us as a major oil and natural gas producer and not dependent on imports from russia as europe. now the european union relies on imports for 90 percent of its gas supplies, 40 percent of its gas, and a quarter of its oil is supplied by russia. so it will take some time for the you to find alternative sources and to reduce its reliance on russian energy imports without crippling. it's economy born as i'm joined by d. w. carolina, she more in washington d. c. so cali, let us walk us through what exactly this oil ban will mean the bad aims to we can rush us economy even more and more. he lobbied and said that they want to keep pressure on president putin and him 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 of this business of guys and all exports make have off 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 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 the u. s. 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 old 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 stay painful high before 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 asian, the situation that republicans have already been criticizing for months county that
