@WiseAfterTheFact, yes, very likely that Russia pulls its little green men trick in Estonia. There is a Russian minority in Narva, just on the border. 3 Russian border guards already entered Estonia territory on Wednesday. They are testing the ground. And getting away with it.

@ceejay101 Would you trust the Russians not to break any deal? Personally, I think next year there will still be fighting. And the next year. I don't think this can be resolved peacefully unfortunately. And it isn't like Trump is doing anything constructive to help things. Putin has no incentive to stop the fighting now. My concern is that things escalate from then on. Ukrainians will make ZERO land concessions, I promise you that. And why should they? It would be a terrible idea. Give them an inch and they will take a mile.

Haven't been on the forum on the while. Nice to see it's still a mental asylum. @JohnNth If you actually think peace might be on the cards you are even more delusional than you sound. Europe is on the cusp of another major war. It's been obvious for the past year or two. Judging from how lacking European military forces are, expect Putin to take advantage and make a move sooner rather than later. It will be a bloodbath. He is doomed regardless. And you think it will all be over by Christmas? I think there will be bigger things to worry about than FXPO shares quite frankly. The stock is deader than a dodo.

@squeaky19, How can you be so confused? Really alarming how many people like yourself believe this utter nonsense. The Russian armed forces invaded Ukraine under Putin's orders. Zelensky has been right not to talk to Putin. When somebody breaks into your house, you don't argue about who owns the furniture. Putin has shown absolutely no real interest in stopping the war. Putin already disregarded the Minsk agreement he signed back in 2014. He also did not take the 2022 conference in Istanbul seriously at all – he wanted the ability to veto any military response by any guarantor states (principally the US and UK).

@squeaky19, if you can seriously believe Zelensky is a bigger threat to Ukraine than Putin how do you expect not to be ridiculed into oblivion?

@JohnNth, what are you on? You have to be absolutely delusional to write such guff so confidently.

If the US aggravates or/weakens the Ukrainian position, then, yes – we will be sending troops in some capacity or another. We have to. Even Starmer, ghastly as he his, realizes this.

@squeaky19, Yeah, we told Ukraine the UK wouldn’t sign or guarantee any agreement back in 2022 because the Russians demanded the opportunity to veto any military response by all guarantor states (principally the US and UK). Not a fan of Boris, but in this matter he definitely did the right thing to walk away.

@ Jps1982, why would the Ukrainians give up any ground in negotiations? Especially land the Russians don’t already occupy? You can’t trust the Russians at all.

Trump needs to man up and wake up. If he doesn’t we will be fighting the Russians ourselves.

@harleygreen You’d be amazed at the amount of the foreign volunteers and mercenaries on either side. This war has barely gotten started.

@alex1978uk Exactly. I really do think we (European West/UK) will fight the Russians if this escalates.

@Jps1982 Absolutely no Ukrainian leader would give up any territory. They shouldn’t give up any. America needs to be accepting its responsibilities as a world power, instead of kowtowing to snakes like Putin. You can't have bases full of men and material etc stationed on the land of multiple allies and not be willing to use them to help said allies. Looks arrogant. Arrogant yet weak. And nobody wants a weak America. Only Russia and China.

Yes, IP, great time to get back into FXPO right now.

@Alex, "This is Putin saying to Trump I’ll kill who I want when I want and if you think there’s going to be peace cause you say so you can think again."

Nicely summarized. Unfortunately, it seems to be the case.

@JohnNth, hahahaha. Have you tried stand up?

Great watch Alex. It's simply incredible how stupid Trump comes across. Makes me pine for the days of George Bush.

@mike1974, stop projecting your delusions onto the rest of the populace. I suggest you go outside and touch some grass. You sound brainwashed, boorish, bat**** crazy.

@JohnNth, if you think momentum towards a ceasefire is building then you quite possibly could be suffering some form of psychosis.

Two for the asylum.

@Krok, again, no evidence the nationalisation of such companies was the work of Zelensky and his entourage, nor is there any evidence that Zelensky or anyone else in government benefited from these nationalisations. Most of these nationalizations were done to secure vital infrastructure or in some cases, like aerospace company Motor Sich, due to their collaboration with the Russian state. The head of Motor Sich had links with Russian intelligence and had been supplying Russia with parts for helicopters and planes. In such cases, what can you do? We used to shoot people for less.

@Evanescent, I know, it’s just sometimes you have to call it out.

@mike1974, comparing zelensky to gaddafi is absolutely insane. won’t even bother explaining why. congratulations for this weeks most ******ed post.

@JohnNth, stop talking about it being “time to force a deal on Ukraine.”

Why are you not focusing on Russia? Are you that much of a vulture? Or do you believe in rewarding aggressors?

@Krok, stop saying that it “Seems that Ze&Co are somewhat reluctant to seize FXPO directly.” It is pure speculation that Zelensky and his entourage want to seize Ferrexpo. Do you have any evidence? Or are have you been drinking again?

Sergio, I advise you block LT. Cretin has nothing to contribute. LSE does a really poor job keeping such cretins off the board, so its up to you.
