RE: Three stages to peace between Russian & Ukraine20 Mar 2022 21:36
halfpenny,
What a load of tosh!
Sanctions cannot force the change of the leader of Russia, they didn't in Syria, they didn't in Iran, they didn't anywhere in fact, because the countries applying sanctions do so only to force a directional change from bad to OK, they are not there to force leadership change and neither can they be, so stop talking rubbish.
I work for a global FTSE100 bank, I know Sanctions inside out, I have to for my job.
What will happen is:
1) Direct talks between Putin and Zelensky
2) A ceasefire
3) An agreement written up and signed by both leaders
4) Withdrawal of all Russian troops from any parts of Ukraine that Ukraine will have left after the agreement
5) Lifting of sanctions because Russia are no longer at war or oppressing Ukraine
And none of the above has anything to do with POLY dividends being paid, because POLY is in no way restricted by sanctions, it has the money to pay the dividends, and it is operations continue pretty much unaffected by the Russia/Ukraine conflict.
