Here\u2019s what you need to know this morning:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Kyiv, the capital, is still holding out against Russian troops<\/strong>, who have taken or are advancing toward several sizable Ukrainian cities. The country\u2019s second largest city, Kharkiv, is under fire, as are strategic ports in the south, the <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/russia-ukraine-kyiv-business-europe-moscow-2e4e1cf784f22b6afbe5a2f936725550\">Associated Press<\/a> reports. (If you're struggling to understand the geography of the conflict, <a href=\"https:\/\/graphics.reuters.com\/UKRAINE-CRISIS\/zdpxokdxzvx\/\">head to Reuters' map<\/a> for key updates.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vladimir Putin has put his strategic nuclear forces on alert. <\/strong>Russia has some 1.5k nuclear warheads deployed and a large stockpile of smaller \u201ctactical\u201d nuclear weapons, the latter being of the type that could (theoretically) be deployed on the battlefield.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The international backlash against Russia is growing<\/strong>, with more sanctions and a rare UN General Assembly meeting likely to happen today.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ukraine has agreed to talks with Russia on the border with Belarus<\/strong>, though few pundits expect anything to come from them. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>SIGN OF THE TIMES- Norges bank, Norway\u2019s massive (USD 1.3 tn) sovereign wealth <\/strong><strong>fund, is getting out of Russia<\/strong>, saying it would freeze the shares it holds there and then start working on a divestment plan, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/0b6fab6b-8dcb-4d04-8f6d-2b434dd55c5e\">Financial Times<\/a> reports. The news comes as oil major BP said it would <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/bp-exit-opens-new-front-wests-campaign-against-russia-2022-02-27\/\">exit its 20% stake in Russian producer Rosneft<\/a>. The move will see the British company take a USD 25 bn charge and slash both its production and reserves.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TWO BIG THINGS that matter greatly to Egypt here<\/strong> (beyond concern over the human toll) amid this clash between two nations with whom we\u2019ve been friends for a long time:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1- State wheat importer GASC could be forced today to call off its wheat tender <\/strong>as the global grain market looks increasingly in disarray. Ukraine and Russia together account for 60-80% of our grain imports at any given time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2- Thousands of Ukrainian holidaymakers are stranded in Egypt. <\/strong>At least 16k Ukrainian tourists are currently in Hurghada, Sharm El-Sheikh, and Marsa Alam, <a href=\"https:\/\/english.ahram.org.eg\/NewsContent\/1\/1234\/461871\/Egypt\/Foreign-Affairs\/More-than-,-Ukrainian-tourists-are-currently-in-Eg.aspx\">Ahram Online<\/a> reports Ukrainian Charg\u00e9 d\u2019Affaires in Egypt Ruslan Nechai as saying. With their country\u2019s airspace closed, the tourists are unable to fly back home but could resort to returning through Ukraine\u2019s borders via \u201cfriendly\u201d countries, Nechai said. The Madbouly government has directed Egyptian hotels to extend stays of Ukrainian tourists stranded here.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MEANWHILE- Borders are open to Egyptians leaving Ukraine: <\/strong>Ukrainian border guards were given orders to allow Egyptians to leave the country through borders with Romania, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Egyptinkiev\/posts\/326592446181478\">statement<\/a> by our embassy in Kyiv.<\/p>\n<p>^^ We have more detail in this morning\u2019s War Watch, below.

Powell, who is seeking a second term as Fed boss, is <strong>expected to downplay the impact of war in Ukraine<\/strong> (and the ensuing sanctions against Russia) on plans to start hiking interest rates from March.
