>> reporter: good morning, gio. this morning, the forces are on high alert. reserves are being mobilized. the mayor announced an evacuation plan and yet the city still seems normal. plenty of people out and about last night on saturday night. today, traffic is light. yet just below the surface you can sense the tension as the relentless russian military buildup continues. >> reporter: this morning, new reporting that fresh intelligence this week triggered the u.s.'s sudden dire warnings that russia may have moved up its timeline to attack ukraine. the worry, russia could stage a false flag attack as early as this coming week. this comes as the world awaits

vladimir putin's next move after the high-stakes call between president biden and the russian president. they spent nearly an hour by phone. president biden saying an invasion would cause widespread suffering. the call was substantive, but there was no fundamental change in the dynamic. the u.s. continues to warn russian forces are poised to attack. >> we are in the window when an invasion could begin at any time, should vladimir putin decide to order it. >> reporter: and the u.s. is aggressively trying to release intelligence to thwart putin. >> we are firmly convinced that the russians should they decide to move forward with an invasion, are looking hard at the condition of a pretext, a false flag operation, something that they generate and try to blame on the ukrainians as a trigger for military action. >> reporter: some 130,000 russian troops now line ukraine's border as russia continues military exercises. more than 30 warships in the black sea conducting massive

naval drills. a russian submarine seen joining those forces. and now ordering all nonessential embassy staff in kyiv to leave. >> russian military action is high enough and the threat is imminent enough that this is the prudent thing to do. >> reporter: ukrainian president zelensky saying, all the invasion warnings are creating a frenzy. >> we have different information, and now the best friend for enemies, that is panic in our country, and all this information that helps only for panic doesn't help us. >> reporter: but for americans here like los angeles real estate broker leon chernovsky is stuck here waiting for a visa for his ukrainian wife, the fear is real. >> i don't want to leave behind the last respect.

we go together or we don't go at all. >> reporter: and this morning, another grim sign. all eyes are now on the possibility of canceling flights to ukraine. the dutch carrier said it will stop all flights here because of fears of a russian invasion, and a portuguese flight was redirected mid-flight today to maldova to ensure they were no longer covering flights to ukraine. >> terry moran again from ukraine. thank you. joining us now is tom bossert, an abc news contributor and former white house homeland security adviser. tom, good morning. it's always great to have you. president biden has said the u.s. military will not enter a war in ukraine, but we've just seen another 3,000 troops go off to eastern europe. what will the u.s. role be if there is an invasion? >> good morning. those troops are prudently and importantly there to protect our existing nato allies.

not to get into a direct war with russia in defense of ukraine. it's good to be there because we're showing resolve to those nato allies and showing russia we're willing to act, if they, of their choosing, start a war. >> do you still see an opening for a diplomatic solution here? what would that look like? >> it looks to be a diminishing and closing window, unfortunately. i don't see much more diplomatic wiggle room, really, at this stage. if ukraine continues to remain resolved and the united states and european allies don't blink, i think this stage, president putin moving forward in some way. he controls the timing, the scope, the duration, and the objective, but he'll be the first aggressor. >> yeah. nobody knows what is on his mind or what his exact plans are. the biden administration not just dealing with the crisis in ukraine. there are other international concerns with china, iran, north korea, of course, a pandemic, and economic challenges back here at home. how does the white house manage all of those at once? >> you have to set certain

principles that you won't bend on and i think we're seeing that now in defense of freedom and democracy. you also have to be worried about some of those threats and in particular china colluding with the russians. what we can predict is perhaps the next step. in response to our return sanctions on russia, which will be swift and harsh, i think the american president will have to speak to the american citizens pretty soon. >> tom bossert, thank you so much. we always appreciate it. tune into "this week" this morning as the u.s. warns of an imminent invasion. george stephanopoulos has two big exclusives. he'll go one-on-one with house speaker nancy pelosi live on set, and key republican senator lindsey graham. eva? now to security for the super bowl. the heightened vigilance on display in downtown l.a. with police on horseback, and even a dog that can sniff out chemical and biological weapons at the stadium. abc's kayna whitworth is in l.a. with more. good morning to you, kayna.

close eye on the water. >> you see the dogs and everything, you feel secure. >> we have the canines here from all over the country making sure there's no explosives left on the side in a backpack or firearms. >> reporter: while sofi stadium can expand to seat around 100,000 people, it's estimated that even more than that will have traveled in for the game and festivities, filling hotels and packing streets, creating crowd control challenges that in the downtown area are best handled on horseback. one thing people might be surprised to see is los angeles officers on horseback. they have the entire unit out here. they have as many as 16 horses in the area every day. these security measures with police already on high alert due to the rise of gun violence and homicides in los angeles. just this weekend, rapper kodak black and three others were reportedly shot friday night following a fight after a party

lawmakers are calling on biden to remain strong on civil rights reform. the president is looking for someone open-minded and has a main stream interpretation of the constitution and the president promised he'll name the nominee by the end of the month. eva? >> kenneth moton there in washington. thanks, kenneth. to a white father and son facing charges for allegedly opening fire on a black fedex driver and the calls this morning to investigate the shooting as a possible hate crime. abc's faith abubey is here with more. good morning, faith. >> reporter: good morning. police were conducting their own investigation, according to the mayor. the attorney for the fedex driver said they want this case moved out of that jurisdiction because they have no faith in local authorities. this morning, attorneys for d'monterrio gibson speaking out and calling for a hate crime investigation after a father and

son shot at him in a mississippi neighborhood while he was delivering packages for fedex. >> stop, stop. >> reporter: 24-year-old gibson says he was delivering packages when he says gregory case tried to stop him using his pickup truck. gibson says he was in a fedex uniform, but was driving a rental van. >> he tries to cut me off and, like, my instincts kick in. i swerve. >> reporter: gibson claims gregory's son brandon was allegedly in the middle of the road pointing a gun at gibson's window of the delivery van. bullets piercing through gibson's rental truck. >> you were there. you were sitting in that truck that's riddled with bullets. >> those packages were almost directly behind me. it's kind of traumatizing. >> reporter: both men out on bail and facing felony charges. requests from abc news from comment from their attorneys have gone unanswered. gibson's attorney calling this incident an ahmaud arbery copycat crime.
