I think a weekend deal is unlikely. In fact I think any deal is unlikely. Putin isn’t interested. But any sign of a deal will see this fly on Monday. It’s the unknown unknowns that are going on in the Kremlin that could change things.

I hope no one panicked the other day and ditched their investment.

As if production is suspended until the war is over. They’d be laying everyone off if that was the case. It’s the coldest winter in Ukraine in decades and the Russian scum are targeting the energy network. As if that’s going to win them the war.

Temperatures have dropped as low as –19 degrees Celsius (–2.2 degrees Fahrenheit) this week, and officials say the timing of Russia’s strikes – in the middle of what the prime minister called the harshest winter in 20 years – is no coincidence.

Trump is mentally deranged. Apparently he also invited Xi to his Gaza peace delegation. Trying to recreate the UN with him at the top of it all. I can't see Putin or Xi going for that.

Ferrexpo shut down operations in 2022 and the share price was around £1.40.

All this talk about peace talks progressing is a load of rubbish. Peace talks are not going anywhere because Putin has no intention of peace. About the only person in the world who is stupid enough to think he did is Trump.

Short share price out look obviously isn't good but it hasn't been for about 4 years now.

("Ferrexpo" or the "Company" or the "Group")

Operations Update

As a result of these missile strikes, state-owned electrical infrastructure, which is located outside of the Group's operations, has been damaged. Limited power supply is available at the Group's operations, which is being prioritised for critical equipment required for essential services and local communities. Consequently, production has been temporarily suspended at the Group's operations. Engineers are currently conducting an assessment of the damage incurred to electrical infrastructure, and an estimate of the period of production downtime as repairs are carried out.

Ferrexpo plc

("Ferrexpo" or the "Company" or the "Group")

Operations Update

Ferrexpo plc (LSE: FXPO), an exporter of high grade iron ore pellets to the global steel industry, announces that following the Group's press release on 11 October 2022, announcing a temporary suspension of production as a result of Russian missile strikes on state-owned electrical infrastructure, repair work has now sufficiently progressed to allow for the partial resumption of production activities at its operations in central Ukraine.

The supply of power to the Group's operations, however, remains variable and limited, which has an impact on the cost effectiveness of production. As a result, the Group is currently focused on drawing down on its stockpiles of finished iron ore products to maintain supplies to its customers, and the ability to utilise such stockpiles has ensured a consistent supply to customers since the events referenced above. The Group can confirm that it has sufficient stockpiles to meet customer demand.

I’m not overly concerned about this. They’ll have stock piles anyway. Probably a good thing in the short term. As soon as spring is here the Russian scum will focus their attention somewhere else.

“After a very productive meeting today with President Trump on a variety of issues, he greenlit the bipartisan Russia sanctions bill that I have been working on for months with Senator Blumenthal and many others,” Graham wrote on the US social media company X

These deals ever come off FXPO could be huge.

Lets hope your right. Sooner or later there's going to be a reaction out of the Russians or Chinese. You would think.

Britain will struggle to keep a Brigade in Ukraine with the state of the armed forces at present. France probably the same. That might be enough to sit on the Belarus border but that's about it.

What happened to this peace proposal that was put to Moscow before Christmas? Not that it was going anywhere but seems like its been forgot already.

The Russian S-300 air defence system was about as effective for Venezuela as it was Iran. Maybe they should quit the defence industry all together. They’re awful at it.

The only side that doesn’t want peace is Russia and never will while Putin is alive.

Nice read;

There's no peace on the horizon. Everyone is playing Trump along.

Putin is playing Trump along because he doesn't want to end the war, he doesn't want Trump to give Ukraine any more help and he doesn't want incur any more sanctions.

Zelensky is playing Trump along because he doesn't want to lose what U.S. support still remains. Mostly intelligence and patriot missiles.

The EU is playing Trump along because they don't want him to pull out of NATO and withdraw troops from Europe.

Its all a big waste of time. Everyone knows this except Trump. The only thing Putin understands is force. Trump and his cronies are clueless to the whole situation.

My account logged out there and unfortunately I read some of LemonTrees garbage. There won’t be any peace in Ukraine while that parasite Putin is still alive you mong. If you like him so much why don’t you go and join the special military disaster?

Well surprise surprise what an underwhelming response from the EU. They could have sent a message to Putin (and Trump) we're taking charge here and your not going to win this war. They could have funded Ukraine and bought huge amounts of armaments all in one go with Russian assets. But no their going to give Ukraine a loan, basically with borrowed money. Weak response and just kicking the can down the road again. Zero strategy on how to bring the war to an end.
