zielinski's facebook post -- i don't know whether anybody here in the building was aware of that. i certainly was not. but that doesn't say anything. i don't even have a facebook account. i can take the question and see. i would point out he's the president of ukraine and can post on facebook what he wants and when he wants. he doesn't have to run that by anybody or seek approval from us. he's the leader of a sovereign state. i will check to see if we had any kind of heads up but i would be surprised if we did. that is perfectly ok. on the false flag question -- what i would tell you is we continue to see indications in the intelligence that the russians are exploring that option and i would leave it at that. on refugees, the focus of the troops going over there, as i've mentioned in my answer to matt, the multi-mission capable, assistance with evacuation flow is something they could do and could do quite well. they are going to be working with polish authorities on what that looks like and how they would handle lap -- how they would handle that. i know of no other troops to contr

and if you're the president of ukraine, if you're zielinski, you're going to be trying to push really hard for nato to do more in the united states to do more, all of that rapidly leading to a process that engages violence as much more likely than less likely. that will challenge the biden administration to slow go. that's our slow things down a little bit so that it isn't a protracted, much wider conflict . that's what we have to watch here. all right. the world is watching. so almost a political science professor david mcewan always appreciate your time, sir. thank you very much for having me, greg. all right now to our weather, and we've gone from unseasonably warm temperatures to have real cool down across much of the bay area . here is a live look now at mount diablo, the east bay is among the areas that could see freezing temperatures this week. ktvu meteorologist, roberto gonzalez is here now with a look at just how cold is expected to get boyd heather. you nailed it there. we had record high temperature of 81 degrees and san jose just last monday, and here we are. in president

what about the zielinski biden phone call that took place a short time ago pair they've had a lot ofations but i'm just wondering, what you have heard about what was agreed to or whether we are going to provide any additional support. we know that the nato response forces engaging, that is a big deal. a very big deal. that does not extend into the ukraine, does it? >> correct. prior to the invasion, we call for sanctions, particular nordstrom too, to provide a deterrent. president zelensky wanted that as well. the biden administration would not agree to it. we are now postinvasion. there is no time for tom. it is time for action. that would be severe and swift sanctions. i would argue that with the administration what they've done now, that is not the case. we ought to be sanctioning putin himself. that would send a very strong message. and also, the lethal aid to these resistance fighters. this administration held up a $200 million package that congress passed. now it is finally deployment. this should have been done prior to the invasion. now they are saying that if we do, if congr

this whole scenario of russians launching a lightning strike against the 12 try to potentially get zielinskinment that would be pro-russian, we don't know what putin is going to do after he makes this announcement. maybe he does take the eastern region, but if it is less than that, less than a full scale invasion, if he just goes into donetsk at luhansk and says this is traditionally russian territory, credit by the soviet union, why would you make a big deal of it? what do you think might happen? >> president putin will likely try to downplay any action that he takes and tried to support any action by echoing these false claims of a possible ukrainian offensive against us territory. we've heard over the past several days the separatist leaders basically trying to create a scenario that makes it look like ukraine is the aggressor appeared remember how this started out. these two leaders basically prerecorded videos to make it look like they were on live television announcing the immediate evacuation of women and children from these areas, saying that he ukrainian offensive would be taking pl

earlier president zielinski shared a video of himself on the streets of kyiv dispelling rumours he hads show some of the locations that came underfire. russia claims to have captured a southern city and though this is yet to be confirmed by ukraine. more than 120,000 ukrainians are crossed to neighbouring countries to escape the conflict. the united states has said it is imposing sanctions on president putin and his foreign minister and will freeze their us assets following similar announcements from the eu and britain. it is unclear what practical effect the sanctions will have. protesters chant. repudiation of russia's actions is growing. this the scene in georgia, where 30,000 people took to the capital, tbilisi, in a show of support for fellow former soviet nation ukraine. from the boulevards of buenos aires to the streets of san francisco, people are marching. as he left the white house for the weekend, it was announced president biden is taking the extraordinary step of broadening a punitive package of economic sanctions to include both the russian president, vladimir putin, and

that is something that president zielinski has said he will not do.ghout the afternoon for that. protests are continuing to take place around the world of people voice their opposition to the russian invasion of ukraine. demonstrations were held across europe as well as in asia and the americas. the bbc�*s correspondent has the details. all chant across every continent, there is anger and there is solidarity. here in buenos aires, around 2,000 people marched towards the russian embassy. they brought with them a giant ukrainian flag. for many, a symbol of their homeland, a reminder of their loved ones. "i've been living here for ten years," said this woman, "and my mother is in ukraine.
