more urgent as the russian troops invading the country pushed toward the capital of ukraine friday ukrainian president volademir. zalenski spoke to people across his country urging them to quote burn down enemies tanks and armor with whatever means and ukrainians are answering the call alexei gunturenko a prominent ukrainian lawmaker. is among them. i don't want to fight. i am not soldier. i'm not professional military man, but i am not ready to capitulate. that's that's the difference authorities of handed out 18,000 weapons and are teaching people how to make molotov cocktails meantime ukraine's ambassador to the united states remains defiant. we remain committed to defend our home we resist we will not surrender our capital to the enemy and is the russian invasion continues a humanitarian disaster is unfolding the un says hundreds

of thousands of ukrainians are now on the move this family making a 30-hour trek to the polish border. so i want to come back. and the effort to punish russia continues the us and the eu are now sanctioning russian president vladimir putin and his for sisters sergey lavrov directly and at the un security council a us and albania-led resolution to condemn russia for invading ukraine failed after russia vetoedit the united arab emirates, india and china all abstained. history will will judge us for our actions. or lack thereof, but at a minimum. at the very minimum the rest of us have an obligation to object the us will now take the resolution to the un general assembly christine strong abc news, new york. and burial lawmakers are being briefed on the ongoing situation in ukraine. solano county congressman. john garamendi who sits on the

armed services committee is joining us live now to talk about the us response and the impact here in california congressman. good morning. thanks for joining us. well, it is a good morning in california. i was looking at those sunrise pictures and thinking about how fortunate we are here. and it's just a week ago that the ukrainians had a similar sunrise now, the sunrise is really blocked by smoke and bombs and horrible horrible invasion by russia. it's so yeah, you've got work to do here in the united states to to support ukraine. we really do and and that's such a an important way of framing it. we are we are so lucky here in the us we have seen overnight ukraine putting up an impressive fight, but how long is that sustainable? i mean in your opinion, is it inevitable whether it's today? or in the next few days that kiev will fall to russian forces. i keep will never com n fall russia may be able to take control of it militarily, but there's four million people there that are determined to

fight back. i'm thinking about the american experience in iraq. we very quickly over around iraq and then the assurgency began. and for years the american soldiers were killed in iraq because of that insurgency. similarly. this is likely to happen in ukraine. the ukrainians are not about to bend their need to russia. they want their own democracy. they've fought for that in the streets in 2014. they did achieve they threw out the russian puppet and they put in a duly elected free elect. leader and ultimately zilinsky became the leader three years ago. they're going to fight for their democracy and the united states and nato and other countries will support them both in the current war and later if when if and when russia is able to gain dominance over that country, that is a very large country. it's the size of texas and clearly russia does not have enough soldiers and will not be

able to subjugate ukraine. so this is the long haul also in russia the people in russia went to the streets immediately when they learned about the invasion and they continue to protest and i would suspect that those protests are going to continue and ultimately putin's real jeopardy lies with the people in russia that not understand why their country russia has invaded a sister country. when we were the us can do i saw that you told the washington post this week that the us is going to begin our potentially began training ukrainian forces from abroad so talk about what that exactly looks like. and how is that different from the assistance the us has already been giving well, the united states has been supporting ukraine for many years at least eight years since the crimea invasion by russia. that support has been in three different areas. first of all, we have had.

military trainers in ukraine training the russian, excuse me training the ukrainian army as they fight against russia that's been going on for several almost seven years now in addition to that. we have supplied financial assistance as well as military aid to ukraine that has been ramped up this last year. we've provided very significant very deadly anti-tank and anti-air armaments the javelin missile specifically. the number of tanks have been taken out may vary, but i've heard numbers in the 100 range. so we've seen that kind of support. we're going to continue that support in three different ways. you just heard the president talk about additional support specifically now training outside the ukraine in the neighboring countries for russia and paramilitary organizations. we've also put together a one a 1 billion dollar loan guarantee

for the ukraine government and there's a six billion dollar bill that is now going to be moving through the congress and i would hope that would also be a bill to support and authorize the sanctions that the president has already taken and more to come right so all activities. yes, excuse me for interrupting you i'm we i only have time i'm just curious some of your conservative colleagues. you're talking about the actions the us is taking some of your conservative colleagues in congress are calling on biden to sanction russia's oil sector. do you think that should be a step the us takes? that has to be done very very carefully because that is going to come right back on america. there are efforts underway to ramp up international oil production to backfill the reduction in gas and oil from the soviet union from russia that takes a little while to get all that together, but i would expect that in the days ahead

weeks ahead that there will be reductions in the x in the ability of russia to export both oil and gas. so there's a whole program underway to find find ways to backfill those. reductions in depression gas and we can expect to see gas already going up in the united states freedom is not free. it's not free certainly for the ukrainians nor is it free for us as we push back against a dictator that is determined to change the world order and rebuild the soviet union. absolutely. well congressman. thank you so much for joining us this morning. we appreciate it and we'll continue to check in with you coming days. thank you. all right, and to get the latest information on this crisis as it happens head to the abc 7 bay area streaming tv app available for roku amazon fire apple or android tv. just search abc 7 bay area sti

oakland. you were down to 32 for a short time and a half moon bay. was that freezing as well. here's another vantage point where you can see how pretty it is to start the day the winds are absent. look at all the upper 20s though from petaluma napa in fairfield. so pretty darn cold there with 30 in livermore 31 in santa rosa, but down the road concord 37 degrees. and overall that brings us up just a few degrees this morning. so the real warm-up starts later on today a warmer air mass and then tonight combination with the warmer air mass and the cloud cover will allow for the warmer saturday night. you can see from the golden gate bridge there looks pretty good milder today. we'll have brighter conditions tomorrow that's going to allow our temperatures to come up and then we'll cool it back by mid-week. maybe a couple sprinkles out there beach hazard statement through one o'clock tomorrow the wave heights will be building so that swell will be getting dangerous with the risk of sneaker waves from sonoma all the way down to santa cruz and

as we look at our cloud cover today, you can see how it is advancing ahead of a storm system to the north you sprinkles up in sonoma perhaps late tonight overall though. the clouds will thin out and we'll wake up to more sun on your sunday. it's going to stay with us for the bulk of the day late in the day. maybe some high clouds late sunday afternoon. so temperatures in the south bay near the mid 60s then we'll bump it up for sunday and monday even tuesday. well above average feeling like spring but by the time we get to the middle of the week, we've got extra cloud cover whether or not we can see any rain from san francisco north is the real question the south bay. no, it's not likely temperatures will bottom out. we'll drop off by the end of the work week. so here's a look at the beginning of the work week where the high pressure ridge keeps the storm track well to the north, but midweek as high pressure weakens. there's a system that will move over the sierra looks like that could happen again by the end of

the week. so we'll watch it today 62 for you in oakland san francisco as well as san mateo with mid-60s more sun in the south bay and east bay to get going and then the clouds increase looking for a milder day tomorrow spring like warmth continues. in fact, it's well into the 70s monday tuesday as well and then increasing clouds with perhaps some showers come wednesday. amazing cooler the end of the week list. all right, lisa. thank you american idol is back for another season tomorrow. it's a monumental year of the competition show because it's celebrating 20 years. this season judges katy perry lionel richie and luke bryan are back for their fifth season in search of aspiring singers. we're artists we know exactly what we had to go through to make it we know what they have to go through to make it once they understand that we're there to kind of groom them and help them. it becomes a family. american idol premieres tomorrow night at 8 right here on abc 7 next it's the final few days of black history month the free
