Will opinionated people say they know you can't trust some media because they've seen some other media that proves they are right?

None of really know what is going on...I know because I saw somebody say it on YouTube

Mercedes i admire your confidence, to be honest if we get up to 25p without a sale RNS ill probably sell off quite a few shares (my average is 26), there is too much crazy **** going on just now. Book a holiday instead,,,

Mac your comment "it's a friendly with more rules conflict" is absolutely appalling.

Putin is allowing humanitarian agencies to operate within confines and will continue to hammer civilian areas whilst claiming he is reining back and merely defending Russia. War crimes are happening now.

I would like this to stop and EUA business to resume as before but downplaying the staggering violence being inflicted is either crass or quite unbelievably stupid

As I said before my partner Marion lost her life to cancer, I don't wish to talk about her illness but it was a very similar prognosis. I will remember the cold feeling of shock when the news was delivered for the rest of my life - my deepest sympathies really are with you, your wife and all of your family.

We managed a small trip away before her illness became too severe and if you can find a way to do something together with your family think about a way to record it so you can watch or listen to in the future. Planting things in a garden together could help so you can see them grow.

The charity Maggie's can help as well as Macmillan will help with backup and advice.

All the best to you mate

I don't have the link here but I read yesterday the Chinese foreign minister confirmed Ukraine has asked them to mediate talks, Xi Jinping might be the only person on earth who could tell Putin to shut up and listen. Here's hoping...

Agent B your post about the Ukrainian journalist is disgusting, I saw her in interview later in the day and she was angry and upset for genuine reasons. Firstly that innocent men, women and children are dying right now - sick people running out of medical supplies in basements, old people left to die of hunger and cold. Illegal cluster bombs dropped on civilians. Secondly that the Budapest Memorandum guaranteed Ukraine that they would be defended if they were invaded in return for nuclear disarmament. Now they are facing siege and starvation.

It doesn't matter a shred if you have worked for an affiliate of the global economic forum for both of these things to be incontrovertable. It is real and happening right now

Wake up!

Very well said Novice20, it's perverse crowing about your success and vindication on the back of senseless and brutal slaughter. I think I'll tune out for the rest of the week and find a way to donate to relief efforts. Looks like we're just going to stand back and let the Ukrainians take the punishment, it's shameful

I'm holding my shares as I'm not a trader - nervously hoping the volatility eases but I'm not having the people I love and everything around me blown in pieces. It's just money, I still have a job.

But the BOD need to do more than tweet to stop the run on the share, some facts and figures. Not shortly but "imminently" as in this week

Putin has a lot of murderous things in his arsenal before involving nukes - particularly aerosol bombs which you cannot defend against. He could give a city 24 hours to surrender or the inhabitants would die a horrific death.
He knows the nuclear option is stupid because radiation clouds threaten Russia itself with long lasting poison.

Let's just hope he's dead soon

Unfortunately for the Ukrainians they also have thermobaric aerosol bombs heading their way, if troops aren't winning the war Putin can vaporise resistance, he dropped them in Syria. Molotov ****tails won't do anything in that context

Made it to the weekend without further precipitous decline! Might sleep a bit better tonight.
Benzodiazepines all round

Good grief - "the war will largely be over by Monday IMO"

That's right we can read some words in a news article and figure out the path of a multi-directional invasion and series of cyber attacks, ordered by a psychopath with a sizeable war chest and an itchy trigger finger. I do admire your confidence

Well said Ian

Mac according to most Ukrainians their ownership of Ukraine was cemented some time ago, unfortunately Vladimir "Tonto" Putin has started lobbing cruise missiles at them because he disagrees. Ownership can be disputed by force, it's something humans are good at

A lot of big buys coming in...a slight positive. I'm not putting any more money at risk but gives a tiny bit of hope

I finished work very late so have just seen the news etc - I hope firstly for peace in Ukraine but also that fellow PI's here can cope financially with the consequences of this

Just catching up on the days posts - its nice to see that the gravity of the situation in Ukraine has quietened the noisy antipathy and engendered some harmonious reflection and a spirit of respect amongst peers.

I did actually feel a bit nervous before the PM announced sanctions...should have known better. After much sound and fury come Friday we'll be back at 20p and hoping for the best again

Not the one I wanted

Pretty please can we have a 7am RNS as I think this board is going to get a bit cuckoo this week. I reckon we'll be at 20p ish come Friday anyway if we don't get one. I don't drink but vodka seems quite appealing this evening

If Liz Truss decides to make a name for herself talking tough to Sergei Lavrov I imagine he will write a list of names/funds who benefit the Tories on a bit of paper and hold it up for her to read. Have we finished the meeting? Thanks
