There will be no minute's silence ahead of Celtic's Champions League encounter with Shakhtar Donetsk in Poland.
The position was confirmed by UEFA following a routine pre-match meeting between the two clubs and the governing body on Wednesday.
The Ukrainian club have been granted permission to display anti-war messages on screens at Legia Warsaw's stadium ahead of the game.
Shakhtar have been displaced from their home stadium since 2014 because of conflict in eastern Ukraine.
A decision on whether both sets of players should wear black armbands is still to be determined.

A minute's silence will take place at Ibrox when Rangers host Napoli later.
However, UEFA have rejected requests from Rangers, Chelsea and Manchester City to play the national anthem before their Champions League matches.
A Uefa statement said: “There will be no anthems played — this also includes the Uefa Champions League anthem — on the basis of maintaining a consistent pre-match ceremony with a subdued atmosphere and without any celebratory activities across all UK venues to show respect as we did last Thursday.”
