russian and ukrainian communities are on edge tonight . we understand that after russian president vladimir putin sent troops to two separatist parts of ukraine. this is a new phase, i would say much more dangerous face. we don't know if that's the end of it. it could be just the beginning. and so it could escalate any time so this is a very bad situation. mr putin says the troops are peacekeepers. but the u. s ambassador to the united nations says that claim is nonsense. good evening. i'm cristina rendon and i'm alex savage. the u. n held an emergency meeting on ukraine tonight. hours after president biden signed an executive order

sanctioning russia for recognizing the independence of two breakaway territories in eastern ukraine as foxes caroline shively reports of full scale invasion of ukraine appears imminent. if not already underway. russian president vladimir putin took the world one step closer to war on monday , recognizing the independence of two separatist regions in ukraine were in a brand new game going forward. putin has made his first move. this is the first of many moves he's going to make, and i think we're gonna have to respond accordingly. the immediate response from the u. s and european union new sanctions with the white house, calling putin's move a blatant violation of russia's international commitments. they are trying to blackmail us again and again with threats of sanctions. putin's declaration of independence for the two regions within ukraine fuels fears he will use it as a pretext for invasion under the guise of protecting the ethnic russian population in those areas. i

think what we're seeing is the next phase of the strangulation of ukraine, the direct their economy caused the collapse of the government. putin has ordered around 190,000 russian troops near ukraine's border, but it's unclear if he will give the final order for war. he has certainly positioned all of his forces to invade ukraine to provide a russian example of shock and awe, among other demands. putin wants a guarantee that ukraine and other former soviet countries won't be allowed into nato. nato members say that is a decision that is not up to vladimir putin. in washington, carolina shively fox news, stephen zunes, professor of politics and international studies at usf, said the crisis is one of the most serious since world war two. even at the height of the cold war. i mean, certainly there was soviet aggression when they invaded czechoslovakia and hungary, too, and when they try to have more

reformist kinds of governments and that kind of thing that you know, within the sphere of it that was within the scared influence of the worse off packed and no, that was certainly of terrible accident. grecian they aren't quote quite be the level. this would be both in terms of size of ukraine. and the fact that ukraine is very, very clear. they want to be part of europe. they want to be part of the west. they want to be an independent country and the fact that putin is even talking about that. that his speech today where he was talking about them historically being part of russia and that kind of thing this this is actually a lot more serious. zona said it's still possible that diplomacy and sanctions could pull putin back from the brink of war. bay area . families with ties to russia and ukraine are anxious about what comes next and fearful for loved ones overseas. ktvu demagogues picks up that part of our team coverage. she's live outside the ukrainian consulate in san francisco without both communities are responding. emmn

ukraine's economy and ability to do business with the us in jeopardy. with regards to how russians are treated in the u. s this could lead to harassment. that is actually a concern of mine. sabrina pinel is an expert in post soviet politics at san jose state. she's also concerned about the price of oil, which rose monday to nearly $100 a barrel amid the international standoff. all eyes are on how the u. s response to russia's encroachment into ukraine. experts say imposing sanctions is unlikely to make russia flinch at sama, var and eastern european market. in mountain view, politics is off limits, the owner says. russians and ukrainians come in daily craving peace of mind and a bit of home. in the window or customers who know what they want, how they feel. and we're trying to support them not only with the food but mental as well. ukrainian activists are also encouraging local bay area residents to get educated

weather, and here is something we have not seen in quite a while. rain ktvu photographer captured this video tonight in san rafael, and you can see it was coming down for a while. some drivers even had to turn on the windshield wipers. obviously this is a very welcome sight after several dry weeks, and you could expect colder temperatures this week. freeze watch takes effect for parts of the bay area starting tomorrow night. that watch covers parts of napa, sonoma, alameda and contra costa counties. we talked to employees at one sloat garden center location in mill valley, and they say they're ready to protect plants in this cold weather. we prepare the days ahead of time by watering carefully. a dry plant can suffer from cold damage easier than a wet plant can so you always want to make sure everything's watered. and um and then if again if things small enough, you can just bring it inside or bring it under the eaves. that's that's the easiest way to do it. and that frees

watches in effect from tomorrow night through friday, chief meteorologist bill martin joining us now with more on our chilly weather, and just how cold it's going to get a bill. hey alex. yeah, that you hit it on the head. chilly weather. that's one of the reasons. i mean, we're getting some showers, but there's not a lot of it. 207 inch 1/100 of an inch pretty light stuff as we go into tonight and tomorrow there's more on the way. but it's just because it's a cold air mass. it's not really cooking with with a lot of moisture, so here's the jet stream. it troughs out right here and that syria it's basically is drawn everything from here, so that's cold coming off the continent there, the canadian continent so very dry cold. there are relatively dry when they come from here, right? much moisture . higher stole of snow levels are going to be pretty darn low with this system. there's a winter whether advisory for the foothills and then there'll be a winter storm warning in the foothills through tonight and tomorrow night as well about enough of the $4 for a higher

elevations in the mountains. scattered showers. let's back it up, and i'll show you what it looks like. this is the last couple of hours or six o'clock into seven o'clock seemed coming down. very widely scared. this is how tomorrow goes to see sam matteo fremont. this is at 10 o'clock. and that's where we are right now. so this widely scattered showers. sure we could see a little snow and bay area peaks for certainly mount hamilton's or mount diablo. certainly, but it be really light because again there's not a ton of moisture with this in the mountains. you're going to be chained up on 50 and 80 tonight for sure, a winter storm warning there and snow levels are going to get down to probably 2200 ft, if not lower. and for us a freeze watches alex mentioned earlier that will be in effect through to probably three thursday morning, at least and then we've got a that winter storm warning that will go in or stay in effect at the higher elevations of lake tahoe for the next day or two. so it's going to be kind of a little bit of a winter storm a brush with winter. we haven't seen that in a while. there's something behind it to not right away, but something down the road so that

high pressure is weakened enough to let this happen so hopefully more can get in. i'll see you back here with those details. looking forward to a bill. thank you. the snowy conditions in the sierra are causing problems for drivers heading home to the valley and the area from a long holiday weekend in tahoe. some people say this drive is taking about three hours longer than expected. snow is expected to continue tomorrow, and forecasters say whiteout conditions are possible, especially in sierra passes. it's just so nice to see whether start to come back. temperatures have dropped 25 degrees. it was 17 degrees this morning as south lake tahoe at lake level, so this is just really welcome to see mother nature come back and start bringing that snow back to the sierra. skiers and snowboarders are excited about the storm, which should soften the slopes after 43 days of firm conditions. you want to hold folks accountable for doing this? it's disgusting. it's despicable. bay area neighborhoods hit with anti semitic flyers, where this is

the way, want to blame someone for something that is happening in the world. the anti semitic propaganda falsely blames jews for the national response to the covid pandemic and names more than a dozen people claiming they control or influence covid policy. it's typical behavior for this group who are fringe extremists trying to project their um, hate filled messaging , um, and try to give an error and appearance that they are larger and more widespread than they actually are. just last month, flyers espousing the same hatred were left in san francisco, pasadena and miami two years ago in palo alto. vandals spray painted racist messages on the university am zion church. the oldest african american house of worship in the city, desecrated the place for what it was supposed to be for which was worshiped. reverend coloma smith wrote a report detailing nine additional incidents since the 2020 crime as proof things have worsened. santa clara county district

helped it i mean, they're helping the community. today's pain at the pump throughout california is 4 74 for a gallon of regular and they always were expensive. bay area is 4 83. these are the highest dollar amounts we've ever seen. nationally the average is just 3 53. that's a buck 30 less than the bay area in california in the last year, the average price for a gallon of regular has gone up 33% here in the bay area, it's 34. no matter how you slice that that is almost five times the inflation rate, gasbuddy .com says, and it changes literally by the hour. the bear is lowest prices are 3 99 at national gas and polio. 405 platinum gas in santa clara 407 at grand gas and pinole 409 at smart stop in pinole. skyrocketing crude oil prices is the biggest culprit of huge prices here. and california is a
