>> when fun time from the bay area's local news station. you're watching kron. 4 news. >> and thank you for joining us here on kron. 4 news at 10. i'm pam moore and i'm ken wayne, a new report. tonight's jess united states may be playing a bigger role in the war in ukraine than previously thought. the new york times is reporting tonight that intelligence provided by the u.s. helped ukrainian forces located and strike russia's black sea flagship the sinking of the last month was an embarrassing blow to vladimir putins troubled invasion of ukraine. 2 senior american officials told the times ukraine already had obtained the mosque was tmrgeting data on its own and that the u.s. provided only confirmation of

that. but other officials said the american intelligence was crucial. 2 ukraines sinking of that warship. for more on this report and the latest on the war in ukraine, we're joined by bay area congressman john garamendi. the congressman is a senior member of the armed services committee and chair of the armed services subcommittee on readiness. thank you for being with us again to talk about what's happening in ukraine. congressman, let's start with the new york times report about the sinking of that russian ship. >> and also whether or not infect the u.s. role is expanding in the war. >> but the united states from the very outset of this entire situation has provided significant intelligence to ukraine prior to the invasion itself. united states knew exactly what the russian a buildup was, where the troops were and wheresthey were going. all of that was shared with ukrainian government way back at the beginning. and we've continued to the right significant intelligence

information throughout the course of the war. this is no secret. it's a very, very important part of the american. i support for ukraine. it has a very negative effect on rushed. >> the times also said that the u.s. intelligence officials were wary of letting many people know about the involvement of american intelligence in assisting ukrainians because russia could see that as too much involvement by the united states and ratchet up their threats against our country. what do you make of that? >> certainly russia doesn't like it. there's no doubt that this is a serious problem to russia because the russian military has been all right. it's a his last the keep battle. and it's also being very slow and being able to make any progress in the east river. john region and intelligence is a key part of every military operation. is that fundamental? no. what's fundamental is the desire and

the strength and the courage of the ukrainian army. the intelligence is a vital piece, but it is not the deciding factor. the deciding factors the will to fight and the desire to win which russia seems not to have at least a strong as the ukraine's also the united states is providing weapons as our nato countries. there's a very significant about of all kinds of weapons going into ukraine, including some very advanced artillery, a counter battery radars and the like all of which our fundamental to the success, the ukrainian government. so russia, yes, doesn't like it. but are they going to do about it? well, we've certainly seen some blessed are about to nuclear weapons. i think pressure knows that. that's where they cannot go. congress cannot go there. if they were to go that way, they'd be a whole different matter.

>> well, i would live. well, we're talking about the nuclear possibility. what what would that mean? >> well, we may nuclear war. probably starting a limited, all of the research has been done on any use of a nuclear war in a situation. so excuse me, nuclear weapons in a situation such as this is that it cannot be contained. it would be one that another back and forth and pretty soon we have it all out. nuclear war. russia knows that. and your next question is where would they use their nuclear weapons in ukraine? well, they really don't need to have a nuclear weapon to destroy cities were saying that they're quite capable of doing that with their their vessels, as well as their artillery. so what's advantage of a nuclear weapon to back down ukraine? i doubt that that would be it to attack nato. they know that they were attacked. nato would be the end of rush. so that's not going to happen. i think it's a lot of bluster right

now. >> may 9th is a really big day in russia, especially for vitamin pueden. it's a day russia celebrates its victory over the nazis in world war. 2, there's going to be a big military parade in moscow signs are that to vladimir putin has to have something to celebrate on may 9th and up till now he's had very little to celebrate with the russian people. and that's why mariupol, for instance, is getting bombarded so heavily. so that maybe he can claim that as a victory on may 9th. what's your assessment a night and how that figures into the war effort in ukraine. >> well, that's 4 days from now there is no indication that the ukraine for gates that are in mariupol, are going to collapse in the next 4 days. i'm sure food and would like to have some sort of major victory. and i'm quite certain that the ukrainians are are well aware

of that and they may be provided. they may be working on some surprise on the other side, this question may 9th celebration. it may very well be that the ukrainians are planning their own celebration. we'll see what happens. but i seriously doubt that mariupol will collapse and the next 4 days. >> mister putin may not have the successes that he wants so far, but he certainly is stepped up the attacks on civilian side just relentless in his attacks on civilian locations, where even sites have been marked. the children are in these locations. how do you assess where things stand right now? >> there is no doubt as a war criminal. there's no doubt that he's targeting civilian side is targeted schools and hospitals and doing what russia does so well. and that is to destroy. they did this year and a you know, they get this year all of in syria.

wherever you see the russian army, you're going to see syria, a city's flat as you're showing that video right now. that's russian way. just simply destroy using artillery. and now with missiles. i just that when a war. as it turned the entire world against beshir, yes, the sun does put prudent as the international pariah. yes, whether it be a long-term consequences for russia doing this, this invasion totally unnecessary and and criminal in every way. so putin, it's going to pay a price now and into the future. the sanctions are ratcheting up every day. current work in europe is that europe will not buy russian gas were used for russian gas. now and russian oil within the next 6 months. so that major market for russia's economy is going to shut down. russia be

able to sell that oil and other places perhaps? but the international sanctions are getting stronger each and every day, particularly as pueden shows his war. criminality by flattening cities by going after civilians and all of the. terrible atrocities that he is instigating. ukraine. >> the biden administration is committed. 33 billion dollars more to the effort in ukraine. the american people today a largely support what the administration is doing in ukraine. but how long will that continue and how much more money will it take to finish this effort and defeat the russian invasion? >> i think you need to look at the the american history and in the early days of world war. 2, we supported united kingdom. and lend lease

program. we stayed with that throughout that entire were eventually the united states entered into it. i don't believe the united states will be actively with our troops on the ground. ukraine president said no, and it would take an act of congress for that to happen supporting as we are. those are individual pieces of legislation. there was a 16 billion dollar piece that passed just a couple of months ago. the 33 billion is in addition to that. i think the american public, i understand that this is not just about ukraine. this is about democracy europe. and this is not only thing that couldn't pass in mind if he were to win this war he will quickly move into mode idea. and there's already a russian troops and b, eastern part of that country we know he has his eyes on the the baltic countries, estonia, lithuania, that area. we do know i'm

well. last week i met with the ambassador from sweden finland and they are very, very nervous. so nervous that for the first time in the 70 years, finn a sweet is pushing aside its neutrality and asking to join. as is chandler. this is a major step for those 2 countries. they know that this war is about them. they know that if crudeness allowed to push forward and win this war, that they're going to be next on the russian agenda. and this is not new defendant. they've had this situation before the night in the late 1930's or early 40's when russia did invade finland, the fans were able to countered. but they lost a lot of territory to russia as result of that this is more than just ukraine, we're out of time. but i just

want to ask you real quickly about u.s. readiness. we have sent. >> a large a number of javelins and stingers to a stinger missiles to ukraine. and because of the semiconductor shortage, we had a story earlier this week about concerns on how quickly manufacturers can turn out new supplies for for the u.s. to maintain our readiness. what are your concerns in that area? briefly? >> serious, serious concerns. that's my job. chairman of the readiness where that used a moment ago and readiness is many things and that is that we have a satisfactory reserve of military equipment of all kinds, not just new additions, but also the artillery and on and on missiles, javelin missiles and the like we're simply going to have to ramp up one of the problems that we have is the consolidation. the defense industry. many of

armaments were built and made by companies that no longer exists that were swallowed up by the big national and international arm country companies. and so we're going to have to push those companies or find new manufacturers for those critical munitions as well as equipment. and so that's a key task. my staff is already working on it. we're working with the department of defense. what do they need to do this? the defense production act is available that that is already in place. first pharmaceuticals and ppe is that we need for that covid crisis for the pandemic. and now we're going to have to turn our attention to restocking the american warehouses with the necessary equipment of all kinds bay area. congressman john garamendi, thank you very much for your time and insight. an explanation of a lot of the issues that concern us all during this crucial time. thank you. >> have a good evening.

comes in bringing with it, a chance of showers on sunday and even cold enough. we could be talking about snow down to about 3,000 feet. that's impressive for this time of year to get that cold, that kind of lingers around keeping the temperatures running below the average through monday and probably tuesday as well. and then behind that, i don't see a big ridge of high pressure. in fact, another front because the move in by the following friday and looks like we keep things a little unsettled even after that. so that is good news for us. as far our weather is concerned about mother's day. well, here's your forecast for you. plenty of clouds are taking mom out. yeah. make sure that you dress warm is going to be a little chilly outside numbers. going to be the 50's. maybe some 60's inland and there is a chance of some showers on mother's day clouds bumping up against the east bay hills. right now you see all the fog that has moved in as well. we'll see more of that into tomorrow morning. back to start to see some of those were showers develop in or north. and you see that next system off the coastline. see a little swirl in the atmosphere that is going to be pushing in by tomorrow evening. so little bit of

destructive fire in california history. now approaching the peak of fire season. fire officials say that they have some very deep concerns about what is around the corner. aware of what's going on. we're a month into a pretty profound drought. >> so we are the normal precipitation that we may get. and that showing that we have the possibility of having above normal fire season when it goes activity just due to those weather and fuel conditions. robert foxworthy of cal fire says since the count fire, the destruction has accelerated. >> for example, last year's dixie fire stretched into 5 counties and burned 1400 structures. usually it's very difficult to when we'll get those fire starts. but i can tell you with the conditions we have now. >> they are setting up possibly start sooner versus

later. foxworthy says that crews are assembling now getting ready to fight hiring is on the rise and more equipment such as >> special air units are in position. we do get the dispatches to any of these fires. we throw everything out and try to get it stopped as and as small as possible. this week marks wildfire preparedness week, he says officials are touring the state to drive home the message to prepare now. >> just in case this is why we get out there now and try to impart on the public that now is the time to take those steps. >> to make your home and your family a safer and more survivable in a wildfire. >> theresa kron, 4 news. >> they areas still in a severe droughts. the latest drought monitor shows not a lot of change over the last week, but compared to the map on the left that a year ago this week, that's when the entire area was experiencing extreme drought conditions. despite the ongoing drought, marin county is relaxing some of its water restrictions for

customers. earlier this week, the board voted to end restrictions on washing cars at home, irrigating golf courses and filling swimming pools, some water conservation rules from last year will now be in place permanently. sprinklers can now be used up to 2 days a week drip eric irrigation can happened 3 days a week and swimming pools must have covers to reduce evaporation. >> while moraine county is ending some restrictions, many people across northern california are already being told to conserve water. but as reporter jeannie nguyen found out cutting back on how much water you use may hurt us in the long run. californians hear it all the time. the warning is if we don't cut. >> we don't have enough water to last us for the entire year. and people living here get it by now. after years of being told to conserve water. this using less water when not only necessary, but when people cut back the ability for us to pay for projects

like this become a lot harder. so how will the projects get funded if the people continue to conserve water? it's something the sacramento county water agency is trying to balance >> people use less water. it means that the revenues for the second county water agency or less. and so that ends up hitting pocketbooks in terms of our operations and maintenance, trying to get the various projects like this completed. >> this is the arden area pipe renovation project that will put in water meters for residents in the neighborhood and replace old pipes to allow for fresher flow of water in the long run, it will help with water conservation. this 165 million dollar project is scheduled to be finished by 2025. and a majority of the funds come from people paying their water bills during the previous drought. the county was forced to delay this project. >> we ended up losing a lot of money because of not being able to pull in the revenue

which caused a project like this to be stalled. >> but until the day comes where we can grab our umbrellas with the abundance of rain, the sac county water agency says our water supply is still the top priority can serve first. >> that's the main thing. >> and that was jeannie nguyen reporting and rainy season is supposed to be over. but lawrence, little bit more coming in on to a few more showers. i mean, this is not going to be a ton, but yeah, the good news is we've got a few more raindrops in the forecast. looks like a a series of systems going affect the bexar over the next coming days and some much colder weather out there as well. clouds over sfo right now. we've got plenty of cloud deck out there at this time and it's going to stick around overnight tonight. in fact, being reinforced by a cold front that's now beginning to move on shore. so that cold front likely to bring with it a chance. some sprinkles around the bay area tomorrow. thank you. look at the san francisco. it's going to be cool planet about 59 in golden gate of 61 downtown. 64 degrees in the mission about 57 degrees in the sunset along
