good morning. breaking overnight. temporary cease-fire. ukranian and russian officials agree to pause fighting in two areas of southeast ukraine to allow women and children to get out. but this morning, there are already reports that the russians aren't holding up their end of the bargain as the fighting elsewhere shows no signs of letting up as more than 1.2 million people flee the country, leading to scenes of desperation and despair at crowded train stations and border crossings. we are live in ukraine with the

very latest. sticker shock. gas prices still rising this morning. hovering close to an average of $4 a gallon nationwide. >> every day, going up. >> as lawmakers from both sides of the aisle call on the white house to ban russian oil. but could that move drive prices even higher? cloud of controversy, the paralympic winter games now under way in beijing. ukraine's team entering in triumph. athletes from russia and belarus banned. >> i am horrified at what is taking place in the world right now. the 21st century is time for dialogue and diplomacy, not war and hate. >> as the u.s. picks up its first gold medal of the games. those stories, plus rallying cry. americans nationwide showing support for the people of ukraine from sending supplies to

strength and resilience as well. >> so important right now. we have a lot to get to this morning, including that temporary cease-fire announced overnight in southeast ukraine. russia and ukraine agreeing to halt fighting in two areas, including the key city of mariupol, so residents, mostly women and children, can safely evacuate. but there are already reports the russians are violating that agreement. >> russian president vladimir putin is cracking down on independent news organizations reporting in russia. friday, putin signed a law banning what the russian government calls fake news, including any reporting that calls the attack on ukraine a war or invasion. anyone found guilty there could face a 15 year prison sentence. already, many western news organizations in the u.s. and uk announced they will temporarily suspend broadcasting from inside russia. >> we have the story covered from around the globe, but we want to begin this morning with erin mclaughlin in lviv.

good morning. what's the latest there? >> reporter: good morning, kristin. they say the evacuation of civilians from besieged cities have been postponed due to continued russian fighting. we have been speaking to ukranians that haven't been able to reach family members in those areas in days and they're desperate to know if loved ones are alive. as putin's war on ukraine enters a tent day, this a nightly routine. >> they announced a temporary cease-fire to establish humanitarian corridors and allow for evacuation of civilians. this woman trying to reach her family in mariupol all week. her only clue, a video of the bombed out house next door posted on a forum to connect

loved ones. >> how long has it been since you reached your parents? >> five days. >> you haven't heard from your parents in five days. >> five days. >> it must have been an agonizing five days. >> it is terrible five days. >> in this port city, the first to fall to russian forces, reports of a remarkable act of defiance. residents apparently taking to the streets in protest, despite the russian rules of occupation, only allowing two people out together at a time. more than 1.2 million people fleeing to neighboring countries. many more trapped in cities and towns, desperately handing over babies, saying good-byes. richard engel says scenes are reminiscent of darker times. >> it feels like another time here, like we stepped back into world war ii, people are loading up trains, you hear the whistles and families come with all their belongings. >> reporter: nato turning down ukraine's call to enforce a no-fly zone. >> it is the only way to

implement a no-fly zone is to send nato planes, fighter planes into ukranian air space and impose that no-fly zone by shooting down russian planes. >> reporter: president zelenskyy not holding back, telling nato all the people who will die from this day forward will also die because of you, because of your weakness, disunity. in russia, putin escalating yet another war. passing a new law, threatening jail terms up to 15 years for spreading fake news and blocking facebook and twitter. she told me the last time she her mom had just been diagnosed with covid-19 and she was in badly need of medicine. just one of thousands, perhaps even millions of desperate stories, the product of putin's war. guys? >> it is just so devastating. thank you for your reporting

from there. >> and those scenes that we saw of the crowded train stations and border crossings are gut-wrenching. 1.2 million ukrainians have already fled that country. we're across the border in poland where a large number of those ukrainian refugees have ended up. kelly, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. the number of refugees fleeing ukraine continues to rise by over 100,000 every day. we're seeing record numbers again this morning here in poland. the total number, now well over a million in romania, hungary and here in poland where trains are pulling in daily with thousands of mothers and children arriving traumatized and exhausted. people desperate to get on trains in lviv and kyiv. here donations are pouring in

from people from poland and other parts of europe. we watched as a van was loaded with necessities all bound for ukraine. the donations coming in for refugees. and peoples are opening their homes and businesses. on bedrooms for women and children who have nowhere else to stay. and we're now seeing a lot of these refugees move onward from these border countries. germany now hosting several thousand and people going as far away as mexico. the united nations is warning this is a massive disaster with massive need. $1.7 billion is what they're asking for to support these refugees as this crisis continues to unfold. peter? >> kelly, thank you so much. let's turn now to former u.s. army infantry officer clint

watts. he's an nbc news national security analyst. good morning. thank you so much for being here on a busy morning. let's dive right in and talk about the cease-fire. there are already reports that russia has violated the cease-fire. how much confidence do you have in it and how can it be communicated to people who are under siege? >> kristen, i think there's one thing you can always count on, if there's rules, russia will break them. the idea of the and creating this humanitarian corridor is good in general. we get the people out of there. let's get back to why that happened. a russian invasion, and they're doing mass siege warfare right now. if they can conduct this removal of humans out of these population centers, okay, now we have a refugee problem somewhere else. if you remember in those cities, essentially you will be viewed as that is a combatant. this creates a new dimension in

terms of human rights and what we're seeing unfold in the population centers. and i'm not sure even if we have this humanitarian corridor, that we can actually trust them. >> clint, so much attention has been focused on the stiff and perhaps surprising resistance of the ukrainians there. but obviously the russians keep advancing at this point. can you give us a reality check of what it looks like on the ground ten days into this awful conflict. >> that's right, peter. we were talking about russian failures being overestimated in the north. but we're seeing russian combat power from crimea really taking hold. these are force that is have been there for many years now. and they have done basically a two-pronged attack, west. first, what we started with, mariupol, that's a city completely under seizure now, and they created a land bridge between southern forces and forces in donbas, the break away

regions russia controlled for some time. they sealed off the sea and made it go from being an international sea to a russian national sea. separately, seeing them break out on the screen to the left, heading to the west. two days ago, they opened up a canal for water, fresh water to flow to crimea. a logistical upbeat for the russians. and next, the salvation point for the navy. there's a russian bridge there. if they get across that, they can go to muldova, sealing it off from the south and sea. >> one of his big weapons is cyber warfare. why haven't we seen more action by russian hackers, should americans be bracing for more cyber attacks? >> kristen, what's always been a question is what will escalation

be in cyber. we're seeing that play out. first major war with cyber force. the first challenge for the russians is time. they're busy focusing on ukraine. ukraine is the heart of what they're after in cyberspace, have all hackers and resource focused there, trying to accelerate the military invasion. separately, i think russians as well as the u.s. and nato are trying to navigate not escalating, including inside cyber. for example, rather than destructive mal wear, wipe out computers and network systems, they're using availability tacts or defacements, taking websites off line, make them unusable or putting up propaganda. short of an absolute cyber war. >> clint watts, thank you for helping us understand a complicated, devastating situation. appreciate it. >> thank you. meanwhile, drivers are experiencing sticker shock at the gas pump with the average

price for a gallon of regular unleaded shy of $4, up more than 30 cents in the last week. the biden administration now facing growing bipartisan pressure to ban imports of russian oil. senior white house correspondent kelly o'donnell has more. >> reporter: good morning, peter. the white house is being pulled in two directions, banning russian oil would be another strong message to financially penalize putin, but they also don't want american drivers to pay a price with even higher gas prices, so officials say they're looking for ways to cut down on imports from russia while keeping stability in the global supply of energy. drivers in disbelief. >> this cost me like $40. now is 65. >> gas prices take a trip higher. >> every day, going up. >> in car loving los angeles, a staggering $7 a gallon was

spotted. while the national average is close to $4 for regular. filling your tank could be linked to the prices in ukraine. as lawmakers, democrats and republicans, demand the u.s. stop importing russian oil. >> we are not going to send russia any more u.s. dollars to help them kill innocent people. >> reporter: house speaker pelosi agreed. >> ban it. >> ban the oil? >> ban the oil coming from russia. >> reporter: the president's economic adviser says that's now being considered. >> we are looking at options to take right now if we were to cut the u.s. consumption of russian energy. >> reporter: the president and allies have been imposing sanctions, aiding ukraine with military equipment and weapons, but republican senator lindsey graham said stopping putin's war may require assassination. >> i'm hoping somebody in russia will understand that he's

destroying russia and you need to take this guy out by any means. >> reporter: the white house flatly rejected targeting putin. >> no, we are not advocating for killing the leader of a foreign country or regime change, that's not the policy of the united states. >> reporter: we have seen how under extreme conditions president zelenskyy is communicating with world leaders, addressing his own people. today, the ukranian embassy organized a zoom virtual meeting so president zelenskyy can speak directly with u.s. senators and house lawmakers who are part of what's known as the ukranian caucus. and lawmakers are part of approving aid to ukraine. peter? >> you can imagine the ovation from him from american lawmakers. kelly o'donnell, thank you very much. also this morning, two of the country's largest cities are rolling back covid restrictions as the pandemic fades away. los angeles county dropped its indoor mask mandate friday after the cdc labeled the region as

having low covid-19 risk. masks will still be required indoors at schools and on public transit. in new york city, once the epicenter of the pandemic, masks won't be required in public schools for children 5 and older starting monday. businesses will also no longer require proof of vaccination to enter. the u.s. supreme court reinstated the death sentence for the boston marathon bomber, dzhokhar tsarnaev. it reverses a ruling that previously voided it. the court rejected claims that the judge in the 2015 trial improperly restricted questioning of jurors and excluded evidence. tsarnaev was convicted of carrying out the bombing that killed three people and injured hundreds near the race finish line in 2013. those are the headlines. let's get a check of the forecast. check with somara theodore. what are you watching? >> good morning. we are watching winter. spring is starting to spring, but winter is not done yet. this storm system is getting

that to flourish that's decidedly pro-putin. there's support and sympathy for ukraine on chinese social media, there's absence of criticism of russia. there's a bright spot here today though. ukraine is leading in the medal count at the paralympics, winning three gold, three silver, and a bronze today on day one of competition here. kristen, peter. >> everyone cheering for that bright spot. janis mackey frayer. the olympics is a powerful platform, even though there are areas of censorship but to express this opposition to russia. >> it is a shame the people of china didn't get to hear those words as well. joined by somara theodore. not looking like winter weather in places. >> it could catch you off guard, the warmup on the way. start by looking at current
