On Friday the allies in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) said they will increase some support of Ukraine but not grant them the request to implement a “no-fly” zone. “We are not part of this conflict, and we have a responsibility to ensure it does not escalate and spready beyond Ukraine” said NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg at a news conference.

Also on Friday, the UN Human Rights Council voted to begin a “high-level investigation” into human rights violations committed following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Video has also emerged of “fierce fighting in Ukraine at Zaporizhzhia, Europe’s largest nuclear power plant” tweeted the New York Times. The U.S. Embassy in Kyiv made a statement that Russia’s overnight attack on the nuclear power plant was in fact “a war crime.”

A fire started but was later extinguished, said Ukrainian officials. Russian troops have seized the complex, but Ukrainian officials say there was no immediate sign that radiation had leaked.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has once again asked for direct talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin. CNN International tweeted Friday morning that there are multiple issues yet to come.

“Russia is a major producer of commodities, everything from oil and natural gas to palladium and wheat. Ukraine is also a major exporter of wheat as well as neon. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine threatens to further scramble already-fragile supply chains” tweeted CNN International.

Moody’s Analytics economist Tim Uy wrote in a report released Thursday, “the greatest risk facing global supply chains has shifted from the pandemic to the Russia-Ukraine military conflict and the geopolitical and economic uncertainties it has created.”
