Zelensky be around next week given he would like Ukraine elections in May 2025 to ratify he's still the elected president of Ukraine despite his presidential term (5yrs) has already ended.

Your country Ukraine is not independent so its a vassal state of USA since feb 2014. Zelensky is your war time leader by his own decree, wears the green combat T-shirt and therefore he reports to this puppet masters. (TBC given the Biden administration 'puppet master' have exited the room).

The west are not useful idiots given they (Bipartisan: Biden administration/neo-cons) have changed Ukraine into a Proxy.

Republican Party are just as bad so not everyone in Trump's party has good intentions for peace in Ukraine and the war to end. These disloyal republicans are the war hawk \ Rino

Yes Trump did do a Great job with North Korea. (Nobody die and he was able to talk first and meet up with Kim to defuse the hostilities.)

As mention a independent Ukraine is where Ukraine is neutral and free from the influence and control of the West (US) and the East (Russia). Where the Ukrainian people have the right of self-determination and democracy to live their lives they want to and peacefully too. This be good for Ukraine to be independent Ukraine and in return good for FXPO.

Donald Trump Accuses President Biden Of Stopping Peace Deal Between Russia And Ukraine

https://youtube.com/shorts/VY0zTVdrVbU?si=vN3zvE_znxiZU3N8

Trump will end the war or probably walk away from this proxy war and hive it off to UK & EU to deal with. Nevertheless, whatever the Ukraine proxy war outcome will be in 2025 or Trump's presidency term, it's not Trump's mess and it's the Biden's administration war which they started, failed to win and a national embarrassment on their evil short-lived war mongering careers. FYI: The Biden administration failed on all wars Afghanistan War, Ukraine War, the Gaza War and the biggest loser for the last 4 years. "Get out of here!... You're Fired" - The Apprentice !

Duly noted! All countries have corruption be it Russia, Ukraine and the UK.

Nearly 40% of dirty money is laundered in London and UK crown dependencies.

Nevertheless, our key interest of focus is Ukraine corruption and how cleaning it's corruption problem via social media attention and pressure will hopefully sway Ukraine to think twice before touching western investment interest in Ukraine via corruption or lawfare; given the west are funding Ukraine's war effort at the expense of foreign taxpayers hard earn monies and potentially have promised to help fund rebuild Ukraine after the end of proxy war.

Ukraine thinks or believes or desires that they don't need Russia but is that true and what are the advantages or disadvantages of post war Ukraine without any help from Russia? In addition, will this be a good or bad thing for FXPO or not for Ukraine to keep on hating Russia?

Absolutely... Ukraine has a big corruption problem irrespective before 2014, after 2014 or now.

Good to see FXPO SP holding strong on this bad legal news and it's a reminder that the current Ukraine administration has to stop attacking their national assets like FXPO because it deters future foreign investment into Ukraine. If they want Blackrock, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase, Vanguard, Blackstone, etc to exit Ukraine or to be scared off and do business elsewhere. They themselves need to end the crazy level of corruption in Ukraine else rebuilding after the war will be a distant dream.

Long live independent Ukraine and FXPO!

Emacd at @51p: "I still believe this is overvalued."

M1Rob @39p: "Increasingly bearish."

Keeps our feet on the ground... I welcome their -ve insight on FXPO and hoped FXPO fall to these prices or 10p, 12p or 25p so I can buy more. Sadly everyone is clued up here and will buy FXPO at these bargain prices too.

Even Unilever Imperial Brands and BAT are a risky stock too given it wasn't safe from western sanctions on Russia. All these three British companies sold their profitable Russian businesses at big discounts in 2023-2024 well below market valuations given western sanctions limited potential buyers whom can buy these sanctioned companies and nor did UK management maximise shareholder wealth in this fire sale.

Terraplane,

What do you call Ukrainians killing Ukrainians in Donbas since feb 2014? A war? A civil war?

NATO has it's rules and Ukraine can't be fast-tracked into NATO as a member and nor does NATO wants to implement Article 5 because of the potential new NATO member Ukraine.

Nuclear war threats was from Ukraine. Zelensky mentioned acquiring them at the Berlin conference in 2021 and that was a red line which Putin took seriously. There's only two rules that Russia stated will use their nukes. Existential threat to Russia's existence and if other countries use nukes on Russia first.

Fair enough...

Happy to see my BP and Shell shares on the rise again! Those meaty 11-12% dividend yields are so wonderful to see in my oil stocks and I can't wait till FXPO in the future does the same with their dividend pay-outs.

Totally agree. FXPO is a FTSE250 company, has plenty of upside potential and a must buy for fund managers as retail investors pour their monies into these index funds and ETF funds each fiscal tax year.

I wouldn't sell my FXPO share holding unless Rob01 is proven correct. (a valid assumption which hasn't materialised) :D

I'm sticking with 'buy' on dips and hold on Fxpo.

I believe Trump said equal tariffs (reciprocation) on any country.

He didn't mention China and India buying Russian oil and tariffs on them if they continue doing so. (Please provide the evidence.) Nevertheless, if this happens then do remember to buy BP and Shell shares or any western oil producers shares as oils prices will shoot up the roof due to limited (non-sanctioned) oil supply in the world and thus high oil prices will also import inflation into the West and the rest of the world on those who's dependent on oil in their economy.

No wonder my gas and electricity bills and the cost of living have been so high since 2022.

Al Jazeera is funded in whole or in part by the Qatari government. (Not Indian)

Euronews is funded in whole or in part by the European Union.

As much as I like the concept of Amnesty international, it's compromised and cherry-picks it causes whilst turning a blind-eye to causes that are not-aligned to Western hegemony. As for United Nations, go to the source and watch it rather than from 'Euro News' whom will skew the story and facts.

Both Qatar and EU simp up to the US rules base order.

No FXPO relevant - Troajan please stop posting Russian hate.

Syria is just another big mess planned by the Western powers way before 9/11 in the 1990's. More recent all you need to look at is the US Operation Timber Sycamore plan in Syria. If you believe Russia did bad in Syria then you have to remember Russia was invited into Syria by the leader (President Assad) as a mark of desperation when the proxy foreign powers (terrorist or separatist or foreign powers) were present in the country and killing people (civilians and troops).

US involvement in regime change in Syria way before Russia was invited into Syria.

As for the independent journalism whom have done research into the war crimes which happen in Syria, then I suggest you follow the youtube channel 'the gray zone'. Aaron Mate has spoken in the United Nations about the war crimes in Syria.

There's a lot more into the Novochuk story which is not reported by the BBC.

All the above western legacy news\media like the BBC won't inform us Brits about and we are kept in the dark like a mushroom and fed with horse 5h1t. This is the bigger picture.

I hope for peace for both sides (Ukraine and Russia) and repeat that the killings in Ukraine started since feb 2014 via the Maidan coup d'état in Kiev. As mentioned before a US person Patrick Lancaster living in Ukraine has been recording videos of the killings since 2014.

Patrick Lancaster YouTube channel: (Search his old videos in 2014 for the facts)

https://youtube.com/@patricklancasternewstoday?si=UA_Ge-lMgiqjWMvX

Fingers crossed \ touch wood that 2025 will be the year of peace in Ukraine and Russia first, Ukraine gains it's independence again away from USA and Russia control and hence logically FXPO will perform better in times of peace again which in turn everyone invested will earn a good return from their FXPO investment irrespective if they hate Russia or not.

I hate to say Syria is not related to Ukraine, yet the HTS (former ISIS) who topple Syria Assad government; their HTS troops were taught drone warfare from a small group Ukrainian troops.

Troajan,

Without proof you're just a spewing lies to support, fuel and lengthen a unjust Ukraine proxy war.

Prove it!

Baseless old news repeated by Western legacy news since 2014 about failing Russia which they can never get right.

If you want to know the truth or see the other side of the coin then follow 'the Duran' YouTube:

Troajan,

I don't care how Patrick Lancaster is funded nor do you have any evidence to prove your own statement is valid.

His videos are the raw facts of the killing Donbas from 2014 to now whether you believe it or not !

Troajan - Your post is not FXPO relevant.

Who cares what Russia is like or it's past or future development. No country is perfect, not even UK, USA or Ukraine!

You and most of the people posting here do not living in Russia. Please stick your own country's development and make it strong so FXPO be successful and profitable again.

We don't care about Russia's past, current or future drug problem as it has zero impact to Ukraine or FXPO. Nor we care about US fentanyl drug problem. It's for the individual country to solve their own drug problems or to get help to solve it.

Not FXPO relevant post - Sergio please only post about FXPO and not hate Russia comments.

Sergio.

Nobody wants to be bombed at irrespective which side you're on. 3 years of bombing is not correct. The bombings have been going on since 2014 where Ukrainians have been bombing Ukrainians in Donbas which a US person Patrick Lancaster has highlighted on YouTube. Anyone can check his YouTube channel and see his 10yr old Ukraine Donbas videos.

https://youtube.com/@patricklancasternewstoday?si=LVnzcu9Fr861Cmp0

The puppet Ukraine have every opportunity to end the civil war in Donbas. Minsk 1 and Minsk 2 guaranteed by France, Germany and Russia was to ensure peace in Ukraine and Zelensky was voting in as the peace president to unite Ukraine and end the fighting in Donbas between Ukrainians and Donbas Ukrainians. (Excluding Crimea)

War is destructive and especially bombing in the Odessa sea port where FXPO shipments leave Ukraine. Yet to let this proxy war carry on then would Ukraine and FXPO be better off losing Odessa to Russia? From my viewpoint, I want the war to end ASAP so people live on both sides and Ukraine to become independent again and to keep Odessa. I stress I do not want FXPO to be taken by Russia given the western sanctions will impact FXPO if FXPO is in Russian control. As for Ukraine losing and it's fate in the future, then a puppet country Ukraine will not have a say and only USA and Russia will set the peace terms for Ukraine to live by.

The Ukrainian people of Crimea in a referendum in 2014 voted to join Russia. The puppet Ukraine government or USA may not like it or say it was illegal but that's how democracy works. Democracy is the right of the people for self-determination. Just like USA become a country in 4th July 1776 breaking from UK or Kosovo breaking from Serbia.

If you believe in a independent neutral Ukraine the you should look into the feb 2014 Maidan coup-d'etat which every Ukrainian should know about and how the US official 'Victoria Nuland' involvement in turning your country into a puppet government. The leaked Nuland tapes are out there on YouTube and the British newspaper (The Guardian) also provided evidence of a failed Ukraine coup-d'etat in 2004 which the US funded and co-ordinated. As well as the Neo-na2i element in Ukraine which you forgot to add in your post.

Not FXPO relevant post - Sergio please only post about FXPO and not the incomplete history\ facts about Ukraine\ Russia and the Proxy war.

FXPO is a FTSE250 player. One should not miss this opportunity to hold this share with great upside potential.

7 days to go and Trump will become POTUS. A major hurdle for FXPO to pass to remain intact and away from the hands of the Biden administration.

The truth is not insulting unless you can't accept the truth.

No relevant! - We're living in the 21st century.

Everyone with some common sense knows what happened in Ukraine in feb 2014 and that's why the puppet Ukraine is attacking FXPO with lawfare. I care about FXPO and independent Ukraine because I have investments in FXPO. What I don't like is the lies, hate and the current puppet Ukrainian government who wants to destroy it's own country and people for what cause ? Crimea? When Zelensky already said puppet Ukraine can't get Crimea back and willing to concede Ukrainian territory to Russia.

No relevant to FXPO - Sergio - Please stop posting lies and Russian hate.

Unilever - Domestos exited the Russia markets in 2022.

"The share of Russian business as of 2022 accounted for 1.4% of Unilever's total turnover and 2% of its net profit (the conglomerate's total turnover was €60.1 billion, with a net profit of €8.3 billion). By the end of 2022, Unilever valued its Russian assets at €900 million."

https://dairynews.today/global/news/unilever-will-sell-its-business-in-russia-for-340-450-billion.html#:~:text=The%20share%20of%20Russian%20business,assets%20at%20%E2%82%AC900%20million.

In summary: The west pushed Unilever out and Unilever sold it's profitable business in 2024 to Russian subsidiary to Arnest Group on the cheap given western sanctions restricts who can buy foreign business operating in Russia. Well done to western sanctions on a fire sale of this business and not maximising shareholder wealth.

Not relevant to FXPO - Sergio... Please stop bad-mouthing Russia.
