NATO didn’t push East towards Russia. East pushed West into NATO and now we see why. After the collapse of the Soviet Union eastern and Central European countries were begging to join NATO for collective defence against Russia. History has taught them not to trust a word that comes out the Kremlins mouth. What do you think happened, 31 countries got together and said “we’re bored let’s pick on Russia”? NATO wouldn’t still exist if it wasn’t for Russia. It’s about time Putin excepts the Ukrainian people don’t want to be in his circle of influence. That’s because he hasn’t got anything to offer except a backward mentality. There won’t be any peace until Putin is gone forever and that day can’t come soon enough.

Annual production of around 2.7mt if it remains at that level. Less than a quarter of pre invasion levels.

A month ago there were a lot of ships going into port and were being turned around pretty quickly. Since the resumption of Russian bombing over the Christmas/New year period they seem to have dropped off a lot, to the point a week ago there were no ships in port. Hence the drop off in the share price. I think, and was personally hoping tomorrows results were going to give us something positive around seaborn exports. Now I'm not so optimistic.

You have a point Clever but there’s blatant Russia bots on here which LSE refuse to do anything about. Probably something to do with the lofty language of free speech. Until they are gone we need to speak up against the them and what they represent. That said it does get boring.

January 11th Q4 production report. Fingers crossed for something positive. Congress back next Monday from an extended Christmas break (it’s alright for some). Hopefully some kind of strategy will come out of this when the next aid package is announced.

Putins armed forces have been targeting civilians as a matter of policy for nearly two years now. Ukraine kills some Russian civilians with a drone and Putin calls them terrorists and goes to the UN. Putin honestly thinks he has the God given right to kill other people with immunity. That’s what he basically wants with the new world order he likes to talk about. The sooner he’s gone the better for everyone, including the Russian people.

Typical Russian behaviour. Ukraine sinks a Russia ship and shots down some planes, Russia kills some civilians. That’s all the scum are capable of.

Good news on sea-born exports resuming. To be honest I thought they already had. Lots of bulk carriers going in and out of port. Look forward to January 11th production update.

And on top of that he’s accelerated Russias population crisis: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/03/14/russia-population-crisis-putin/

Q4 production report January 11th. Hopefully some positive news along side the resumption of U.S. and EU aid. They seem to be turning the bulk carriers around quickly so hopefully exports will be up.

I see LSE removed POWER’s post we were referring to but not him. Keep reporting him and maybe they will.

Wont be long before the Russian people are getting paid in Yuan and chicken tikka masala.

What a load of Rubbish POWER. The United States and the EU are by far China's biggest trading partners. You mean China is Russia's biggest trading partner. In other words China (and India) are both taking advantage of the situation and buying Russian oil and gas on the cheap. Both of which are paying in their own currency which Russia can't do anything with except buy back Chinese and Indian products. Not a very enviable position to be in. I see the Chinese have now told Russia if they want to build a gas pipeline into China then Russia has to pay for it themselves and then except payment in Yuan.

On top of all that your run by a murdering kleptocrat that gets others to kill people he doesn't like with nerve agent. He's sent hundreds of thousand of Russians to their deaths all because he can't handle the thought of Ukraine being a democracy in side the EU and NATO. Wouldn't want another one of them on his border would he? The Russian people might want the same for themselves one day and get rid of him.

If you think that makes anyone resentful of Russian then your thick pal. From what I can see Russia is weaker than its every been.

Which is exactly what the little cretin would have done with Ukraine. Taken there industry and divided it up between himself and the oligarchs.

I think the western world will wake up and keep backing Ukraine. If Trump pulls the U.S. out of NATO however and Putin manages to rebuild his rabble into some kind of army then who knows what will happen. His airforce is still pretty much intact.

I think Easyjet might be a good play if inflation keeps coming down and things bounce back next year. Up 20% in the last month however so not as cheap as they was.

Exactly right Troajan.

Any kind of concession Ukraine makes to Russia, Putin will sell as a win. Europe with America, like Tusk is saying, needs to mobilise now. As long As Putin is alive the twisted mind of the Kremlin means Europe isn’t say.
