Personally I can't see Trump wining unless Biden kicks the bucket before November. Trump will be bankrupt and in prison by then. He and Putin actually have a lot in common. They are both compulsive liars and think they are god like. Ukraine would never agree to a cease fire. If American under Trump stopped funding Europe would have to step up more. Putin would see it as a once in a life time opportunity to have a go at the Baltic states. If anything the situation would escalate.

The ports looking busier than ever. Whether that's FXPOs product or not I don't know.

Extraditing Zhevago back to Ukriane would probably be the best thing for the rest of us (not him obviously). He would be held until his share of the business is seized by the government or some deal is done. A simple transfer of ownership.

The longer he’s a fugitive to the law the more likely the government or plaintiffs seek others ways to get his assets. Seizing the assets directly or sending the bailiffs in. Therefore diluting everyone else’s investment. Is guess that’s what the ridiculous fine for waste products is. The government saying we’ll get what we want one way or another. Dragging us down with it. Just my ten pence worth.

Copied from another board. This makes more sense to me especially in regards to the ridiculously high fine for waste stripping:

From @baroninvestments...Sadly it does seem that whilst Zhevago is a majority shareholder these claims are not going to go away. The damage to Western minority shareholder continues as does the distractions. Frozen accounts at a subsidiary isn't a first and this relates to alleged waste stripping at FPM. Peel Hunt yesterday: "We continue to view these proceedings as efforts by the Ukrainian government to pressure the main FXPO shareholder into settling amounts with the Ukrainian Government over the failure of a bank he owned, rather than issues with FXPO directly."If the court approves application for creditor protection ($58,000), then likelihood is bailiffs come to site, appraise and seek the funds. It's a total mess with risks and yesterday was exacerbated by the biggest fall in Iron Ore this year.

How does a company go from paying a dividend to not being able to pay a supplier $58,000 in the space of 3 weeks? Doesn't all add up but if I wasn't already in I wouldn't be going anywhere near this now.

That said I'm convinced Q1 numbers are going to be good. If the Ukrainian authorities just some how seize FPM or force them into bankruptcy where does that leave the likes of Blackrock, HSBC or Schroders? They are unlikely to invest further in the country with that kind of behaviour.

Klitschko wants his job!

I’m more interested in the Q1 results April 8th.

Im with you Fogthemogg

That's what I was thinking. Surely they'll have that sat around in petty cash.

‘Others might say that a NATO-backed minority mob ousted a democratically elected leader :)’

What a load of rubbish pal. The Ukrainian people were brave enough to stand up and get rid of Russian backed regime. The same as they are doing now. I seem to remember 250,000 people demonstrating in Moscow in 2012 against Putins regime. I suppose they were egged on by NATO as well were they? I find it hard to believe the Russian people have changed their minds since then. The same as in Belarus. If they had genuine free elections the dictators would be gone. Which they will be one day. Then all the lies and propaganda will be exposed and useful idiots in the west will be seen for what they are.

The people of Ukraine, Belarus and Russia don’t want to be governed by Putin and his cronies. Fact. That’s why they are demonstrating. Not because of some big NATO or western conspiracy theory.

Very true Evanecent. Putin is already in an unwinnable war but unlikely to give up as that will be the end of him.

I don't like the look of this. Giving the Russian rabble ideas:

NATO troops could be used to free up Ukrainian troops around Kiev, along the boarder with Belarus or to provide training. Putin attacks them then he’s attacking NATO. F*#k Putins so called red lines. He’s a murdering weasel, 11th largest economy in the world with a drunken rabble of an army. Everyone, including Russia, will be better off when he’s gone.

That said the Russian Black Sea fleet is obsolete, or will be soon.

Russia lost more people taking Avdiivka than the Soviets did in Afghanistan is 10 years. Insanity.

But he will want Odesa. Which is why any peace treaty, cease fire will be a waste of time. Pukin will just use the time to rearm.
