>> reporter: yeah, erica, u.s. officials have been working furiously and urgently to identify and prepare the next steps in their effort to continue to put more pressure on the russian president vladimir putin, and also, more support directed at the u.s.'s ukrainian allies. we know that over the weekend, ukrainian president zelenskyy was urging u.s. lawmakers on a call on saturday to implement a no fly zone. biden administration officials have made clear that is off the table, but some other options that zelenskyy was also urging for are now on the table. one of those, of course, as you were saying is banning russian oil imports into the united states. that's something that we've heard a number of republican and democratic lawmakers express public support for, and the administration is now working through that to see how they can do that while minimizing the impact on american consumers. there's also the possibility of declaring that war crimes have taken place, that russia has committed war crimes in ukraine. u.s.

>> reporter: that's right, erica. so what we are learning is that the white house is coming under increasing pressure from lawmakers, from president zelenskyy of ukraine, of course, to provide ukraine with mig 29 fighter jets with surface to air missile systems which could essentially help ukraine regain control over airspace that is still contested at this point. the problem though is that it would be very difficult, a lot of officials believe, to get those fighter jets into ukraine. of course, we saw the controversy last week with poland where they'd need the fighter jets if they transferred to ukraine, filled by the u.s. and of course, getting the missile systems into ukraine because u.s. does not have those, the allies do. how do you back those countries to allow them to send missile systems into ukraine? logistically, also, this is difficult. it is a war zone. and russia has said that it is willing to target convoys that are bringing in military equipment from the west into ukraine, and, you know, nato now is try

>> reporter: that's right, erica.hree sources familiar with the matter telling me and my colleagues that president biden is expected today to ban russian oil, natural gas, and coal imports coming from russia into the united states. the most significant of those, of course, is the oil imports. russia and russian oil imports account for 8% of oil imports into the united states as of last year. that's just a small percentage when you look at that versus what european partners are facing. that's why it is notable here that the united states is choosing ultimately to make this decision unilaterally. we have seen so far that u.s. sanctions against russia have largely been done in lockstep, in close coordination with european allies, to try and maintain that united front. under growing political pressure here at home from the democrats and republicans to take this step, president biden is now expected to announce that at 10:45 a.m. this morning. there was this agreement among european leaders who, again, those countries much
