There's the slight complication that Mariupol is defended by the fanatical neo-nazi Azmov battalion who are unlikely to agree to it being handed over to the russians so they would need to be decisively beaten first.

I notice he had an even shorter tenure at vedanta so it's possibly just the nature of his role as an independent consultant.

Indeed so maybe he hasn't left? Under LR 9.6.11
A listed company must notify a RIS of any change to the board including:
(1) the appointment of a new director stating the appointees name and whether the position is executive, non-executive or chair and the nature of any specific function or responsibility of the position;
(2) the resignation, removal or retirement of a director (unless the director retires by rotation and is re-appointed at a general meeting of the listed company's shareholders);
(3) important changes to the role, functions or responsibilities of a director; and
(4) the effective date of the change if it is not with immediate effect;
as soon as possible and in any event by the end of the business day following the decision or receipt of notice about the change by the company.

I wasn't expecting this sort of price action, I guess it's related to moex opening. I notice JRS has jumped too and also the evraz price looks like it's moved from 82 to 103 somehow.

HarryBarker - "...what we have here are a multitude of Sid's (public buyers) , like when all the Nationalised Company's were offered to the people during the Margeret Thatcher government British gas BT etc".

The difference is the government wanted you to buy those but it wants you to sell these.

Only this, probably not significant but mentions kazakhstan:
Russia chokes off Kazakh oil pipeline as Europe ramps up debate on sanctions

Oil prices rose again as Europe’s debate over sanctions on Russian energy exports ratcheted up a day ahead of a crucial summit meeting.

Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi told lawmakers that Russian President Vladimir Putin is not interested in serious peace talks, a conspicuously hawkish tone from a country that is highly dependent on Russian oil and gas. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, by contrast, reaffirmed his opposition to an immediate embargo, citing the economic costs.

Russia has unilaterally tightened the global oil market overnight by closing the Caspian Pipeline Consortium’s export terminal on the Black Sea, claiming that storm damage needs to be repaired. The 700,000 barrel-a-day link largely carries oil from Kazakhstan to world markets.

Strong finish. I wonder who was buying in such a coordinated way to push it up like that in the last hour?

Does anything?

"you could have saved time by just not typing this"

And you could have saved time by not typing that too but here we are.

I'm guessing 126p but it's gone a bit mental so who knows

dbno - "this used to be such an exciting share to own. now rigor mortis has set in :("

That comment didn't age well :-)

SP is up 11% in the past couple of weeks so due a pullback - might fill the gap around 122 before moving up again towards 136... is my guess

125p

Just a quip, Ray, I don't mean it really

I will attend if Ray isn't attending...

jotom - "the west... have not killed thousands to forward their aims"

You've got to be kidding right? There's a million+ dead in the middle east who would beg to differ and that's just one of the more recent genocidal campaigns.

jotom - "Was there not peace in the whole of Ukraine..."

Not really, there's been a civil war raging for the past 8 years or so.
