What is going to happen is all in RNS, one simply has to read and digest it.

Take some time to go through all RNS from the bank RNS of 2019, crystal clear tbh.

The market that they're going to feed is all that matters, that market only grows as we all wait for the further details. That market is what is causing things like Nickel stocks to plummet, it all makes Eurasia's assets even more desirable to any large company looking to secure supply lines via purchasing relevant assets.

The wait may be long, but, it plays into the BOD's hand!

Maximum value is what they want, maximum value is what they'll get!

"TOKYO: Nissan Motor will end development of new internal combustion engines in all its major markets except the US and focus its resources on electric vehicles, becoming the first major Japanese automaker to make such a break, Nikkei has learned."

I wonder if they know where there's some battery metals?

There is that Oligarch, Ukraine is a completely different beast to what it was in 2014. I just hope people on all sides are ok, it can't be doing Ukraine's economy much good, all the hysteria stating 'imminent invasion' etc, that can be quite damaging in a situation like this.

It's a shame that these things have to happen in order for people to sit down and discuss all sides individual interests and come to a resolution.

The quicker it is resolved the quicker energy prices should settle back down as well. That Nord 2 has always seemed a strange one, Europe wanted more gas so Russia provided the pipeline, no sooner was it starting to be put in place and everyone began to kick off about it. There was a strong focus on attacking Germany for accepting it prior to all of this. It's surely more emission efficient to run it through a pipe to countries than to ship it across the World?. The line could also quite easily be blended with Hydrogen once things are in place, that again reduces emissions and the carbon footprint of the industry.

All quite odd tbh.

GLA

Ok Robertofthegreenbin, whatever you say.

Look at the Nickel stock plummeting, then try and find me fast to production Nickel assets that could counter that. Yes, that's right, you end up at Eurasia Mining, magical that isn't it lol

I've grown to like that man, in the middle of all of the hysteria he just marched on for a diplomatic solution -

Mr Macron told the Journal du Dimanche newspaper that Russia's objective was "not Ukraine, but a clarification of the rules... with Nato and the EU".

"This must be done while respecting Russia and understanding the contemporary traumas of this great people and great nation."

It will all end well, no one wants conflict, Russia, Ukraine and the EU just want security for their people.

It's such a great industry emerging for the relevant PGM demand -

"Palladium has the potential to play a major role in virtually every aspect of the envisioned hydrogen economy, including hydrogen purification, storage, detection, and fuel cells."

"Further, its inherent selectivity for hydrogen, fast sorption kinetics, and reversibility of hydride formation allow Pd-based alloy membranes to attain a high hydrogen gas quality at 99.99999 % purity. Hydrogen sensors are also being investigated that draw on the changes in the properties of Pd upon exposure to hydrogen."

"The joint research and development programme aims to take the process through which hydrogen is chemically bonded to a liquid (known as a liquid organic hydrogen carrier or LOHC) a step further, targeting new PGMs-based catalyst technologies that can be installed directly in FCEVs and other forms of transport.

Using a LOHC allows for hydrogen to be handled and transported in a similar way to oil or gasoline, using conventional liquid transport networks such as tankers and pipelines rather than meeting the more complex requirements of compressed gas."

It's transparent, has been for a long time here. LTH's are only topping up, well, that's what i've been doing anyway.

Macron has flown to Russia, it appears that he's the only one thinking logically right now, every one else wants to wave willy's -

That's the most sensible statement i've seen thus far, both Ukraine and Russia require security.

That seems like the best approach, analyse both sides of the equations concerns and then proceed down the diplomatic route. Hey, if it becomes a regular thing they could solve a great deal of World problems working together going forward.

Next up, third World countries, there really shouldn't be any in this day and age . . . . . Here's hoping . . . . . .

I fully respect the sacrifices others made in legitimate wars and conflicts. Everyone does. What no one respects is the continued use of media for nonsense and then sending perfectly good, young and healthy people into conflicts that can rarely be won for whatever reason.

GLA

It's a simple enough question, there are two of you now claiming all of this military experience, but, offer zero explanation on the 'imminent invasion' rhetoric that is being peddled about. Look at Ukraine force figures and then get back to me perhaps?. Should be a very easy question to answer with your combined 35 years service. What size force would you need for an Ukraine invasion?

GLA

Citic is Chinese state owned, is this your new angle for an argument?. Look into yourself and you will see it to be 100% factual.

Troubled, why, because you can't rationalise both sides of any equation?. Tell me, with your military experience, how do the numbers stack up for launching an imminent invasion like we're lead to believe on media.

GLA

UN objective appears to want to keep cool and get the agreements back in place to settle the civil war in Ukraine, that seems the sensible thing to do. I fail to understand how people don't see that, i also fail to see how people just point blank refuse to believe how the figures actually stack up. Even the US is now saying 70% of required forces to invade, so, they're agreeing that there isn't a full invasion force present. I would suggest a lower percentage than 70 myself, i fail to see why you would attempt an invasion with less forces than your target, that makes zero sense from a tactical perspective.

Anyway, all will be fine.

GLA

Why's that Parttimer32, because i've pointed out the relevant RNS statement and wiki link to the Chinese state side of things?. Seem very bizarre for you to try and suggest something like that, when, all i've done is presented the facts and offered an opinion.

FSP ended, yes, well done.

GLA

"Yet we are trying to fix the planet" - Fully agree, no one wants war. The numbers don't stack up to what is being suggested, anyone with any real military background would see that. Ukraine has a large force these days, to invade you would require quite a significant force to do so. That force just isn't there to make any invasion move at this point in time, 'imminent invasion' is simply media hysteria.

If the numbers change, then, well, you would have to analyse the situation again, of course.

People may disagree with that, that's up to them, but, to try and push their opinion forward as more factual than what the actual figures suggest, shows that they've took little time to actually look at the situation.

"As for statements by the US and British press services, they are already becoming a laughing stock in both Russia and the rest of the world. It is impossible to take these mythical clichés and phobias seriously.

We need to display an honest approach to reality rather than a world of fantasy invented by Anglo-Saxon politicians. Neither Washington nor London hear Kiev’s pleas “to back off.” They have their own “goals” and political crises. They urgently need an opportunity to go to a virtual war. This is how they distract their own people from domestic political problems. The United States and other NATO countries continue to supply Ukraine with new consignments of military aid (as they call it), thereby further complicating the search for a peaceful settlement to the conflict in Donbass. All this is playing into the hands of the Ukrainian party of war, those who continue calling for murder, expelling objectionable people, and doing away with the disobedient.

The shelling of Donbass continues. This is a violation of the ceasefire that has been in place since July 2020, as well as the appeal by the Normandy Four in Paris on January 26 of this year to strictly observe it. The number of violations in this region has already exceeded 3,000 since the beginning of this year.

We urge the NATO countries to immediately stop their efforts to fan the hysteria around the internal conflict in Ukraine and stop their military support and assistance for Kiev as one of the conflicting parties in eastern Ukraine.

We hope the Ukrainian authorities will stop dancing to the tune of their NATO mentors because this is a road to disaster. Kiev must show independence and start a full-fledged dialogue with Donetsk and Lugansk with a view to finding a peaceful settlement to the conflict as soon as possible, as is envisaged in the Package of Measures for the Implementation of the Minsk Agreements approved by UN Security Council Resolution 2202."

"This week, we once again witnessed the continuing information and political campaign by the West to spin the myth of the Russian threat. It is alleged that our country is about to attack, that it has specific plans to do so, etc. All this nonsense is written by our foreign, Western partners that you read yourselves. This is a story about an alleged Russian threat to Ukraine and the escalation of international tensions. All of this runs contrary to the real situation and to the common sense that would prompt the need to put an end to this Western, primarily Anglo-Saxon, hysteria and to normalise the situation as soon as possible.

Any available means are used for this purpose. On February 2, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson published a video on the government’s official social media page where he personally tells viewers about Russian troops near the border of Ukraine, intimidating viewers with an alleged very real prospect of an imminent Russian invasion. Mr Johnson, Jennifer Psaki said she dropped the use of the word “imminent” in this context. Maybe you should follow suit for a few days and then the situation will improve by itself? When one stops using words like this, everything becomes quieter and calmer. Stop scaring everyone, stop spreading false news and threats. The video is telltale. He is threatening to impose new sanctions on Russia. An alarming soundtrack behind his words; inflammatory propaganda; disturbing music in the background of Mr Johnson’s words completely drowns the voice of the Kiev regime who has, in fact, already expressed the opposite to what the Anglo-Saxons are trying to scare us with.

The Ukrainian authorities have suddenly realised that the West is using their country for its own political interests and are now trying to backpedal. Ukraine’s Secretary of National Security and Defence, Alexey Danilov, said recently that he did not see any evidence for the assertions by some from the West of an impending Russian “invasion.” Ukraine’s Defence Minister Alexey Reznikov and Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba have expressed similar views."
