Barry Pavel of the Atlantic Council said on Friday that the conflict in Ukraine could lead to a broader war.

The senior vice president and director of the institute said that it was clear from Putin's rhetoric that he wanted to re-establish much of the Soviet empire.

He said that we are in a new era of European security as of this week. There will be conventional forces.

He said that a winning potential proposition would be to educate Russians about Putin.

A sustained information campaign that tells the Russian people every week about Putin's corruption could be very effective in discouraging him from taking aggressive acts.

The CEO of Vespucci Maritime said that Russia's invasion of Ukraine could cause major disruption to the global container supply chains.

He told CNBC that all of the major container lines have seized operations into Ukraine.

The impact on ports in the Western Mediterranean and the Black Sea will be great because there are already a lot of cargo on the ships that were supposed to go to Ukraine.

He pointed out that the ports were already congested and the development will create a ripple effect in the coming days.

Jensen said that it was still unclear how much shipping would be affected by the new sanctions on Russia.

There is a lot of uncertainty over the next few days about whether services to Russia will continue. Major disruption in the global supply chain is possible if services to Russia stop.

Bilahari Kausikan, a former Singapore senior diplomat, said that China is probably as concerned as everyone else by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

I would be sitting in Beijing. He told CNBC that he was concerned about the crisis in Ukraine, as well as the Western sanctions against the country, and how rising energy prices would affect the global economy.

China might be happy to see the United States and the European Union, as it tries to maintain a balance with Russia.

He said that the sanctions against Russia act as a symbol of disapproval and a violation of some fundamental principles of international order.

The campaign to raise money to give Ukrainian soldiers body armor and other goods was suspended by Patreon, a start-up whose website enables people to donate to individuals and groups.

Taras Chmut, the director of Come Back Alive, told CNBC that the money can't be accessed through Patreon because it's been raised over $300,000. The company doesn't allow campaigns that buy military equipment.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Thursday that the U.S. took every possible effort to deter Russian President Vladimir Putin from entering Ukraine.

In an interview with NBC Nightly News, Blinken said that Putin's goal all along was to get Ukraine back into his sphere of influence.

When asked by Holt if Russia could threaten NATO countries, Blinken reiterated the U.S. commitment to the founding treaty. Collective defense is a principle of the alliance and states that an attack on one NATO country is an attack on all allies.

In the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the alliance has only invoked Article 5 once.

Holt inquired about the new round of White House sanctions that President Joe Biden said would destroy anything that has ever been done.

If President Putin decided to pursue the path of diplomacy and dialogue, we were prepared to engage on that, but equally if he pursued the path of aggression.
