Bloc.. does that include the EU? There's one thing being neutral and staying out of NATO but no way would they walk way from closer ties to Brussel sprouts.
IMO there's still a chance of getting something back from the RASP sale in October. The US said the sanctions are only a means to end the war and will be lifted after the tanks leave. Who knows but the shares on MOEX might have recovered a bit by then.
Just imagine there is a resolution soon? People are going to make a packet on depressed stock.
Do we think Evraz held cash in Russia accounts or were the BOD wise enough to move it out before the banks were sanctioned? Or were they too busy packing their bags for a long sunny holiday.
RE: Positive - Abramovich setting up charitable foundation2 Mar 2022 19:04
The widow of murdered former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko has called for Roman Abramovich to donate profits from his Chelsea sale to Ukraine to prove he is not a foil for Vladimir Putin.
Telegraph: Russian businessman Roman Abramovich said on Wednesday he had decided to sell Chelsea Football Club and promised to donate money from the sale to help victims of the war in Ukraine.
That's awfully kind of him... perhaps that's enough for him to avoid the sanctions list? Which would be the best outcome for Evraz shareholders.
Russia's foreign minister Sergei Lavrov said earlier on Wednesday that Moscow remains committed to the "demilitarisation" of Ukraine and added there should be a list of specified weapons that can never be deployed on Ukrainian territory.
But he said that Vladimir Putin's regime recognised the Ukrainian people's right to chose their own leader and that Russia accepts Volodymyr Zelensky as the legitimate president.
That last statement is significant.. that would go some way to getting some peace.

I heard a rumour that the SP isn't going up because they've run out titanium. In fact the whole workforce is sat in the canteen having full english breakfasts whilst they wait for the Ukraine ceasefire.
