That is one of the risks you need to be aware of unfortunately, that's why it's important to understand the company you are buying into and all its risks internal and external.
I am invested here a bit and also in the like of Alibaba in US which is often under the cloud of a delisting risk (though never yet suspended) so I have to take that risk and weigh it against my own tolerance to decide how much of any I should put in.

Hopefully and likely this will all be fine in the end but definitely take external geographic and political factors into consideration in the future of you didn't this time

You mean interactive investor I bought some yesterday so yes

Hargreaves Lansdown and Interactive Investor

or he sees that his situation will get worse and decide better to just take the deal he can get now which perhaps is the plan

I'm so confused what we've been doing to him the last couple weeks?! :)
Maybe these are these are similar sanctions to Hans Blix in team america

actually it was US, UK and er.. Russia that guaranteed their sovereignty if they got rid of their nukes.
Didn't learn from Libya that removing them makes you easier to invade.
I'm sure n.Korea and others will be taking note

interesting as Austria is part of EU of course though not NATO.

offmessage I think it's all about speed rather than big toys.
Once you let the otherside set up a defensive position of their choosing you are going to be bogged down and movement is going to be slow with a lot of losses unless you can find a way around the flanks or behind.

yes hard to say that Ukraine are winning, I don't think even they feel that.
They are just trying to survive long enough to get a 'fair' ceasefire, whatever that will look like to them.
the PM has said they'll never join NATO, will that be enough for Putin? He'll want Crimea and the 2 breakaway areas counted as Russia and maybe want a land bridge between them. Hard to know if an agreemet will be reached o that

I expect he feels or worries if he doesn't keep making the point of needing help then we will just ignore Ukraine like we ignored Moldova, and Georgia, and Syria and currently Yemen which we are actually providing the weapons for the Saudis to do what Russia are doing in Ukraine

beware the ides of March :)

Not sure you can position Putin as the victim here.
If you are not expecting big swings each way in the next few weeks, even months then you maybe should not invest here.

It was up about 40% in less than a week so no shock that people who bought low are taking some or all their profits, nor that people are more fearful here who haven't read the RNS but just what the papers and social media tell them about us getting deleted and being scared off.

Can't blame people for buying or selling when they fell it's right for them, and IDK when you bought in but if it was after the war started you should be aware of the risks and likely very bumpy ride at least in the short term.

I don't think you should hold as much as you do here in that case mate.

I don't think they will be on 250 as I read it they are coming out of all the FTSE indexes

"Evraz and Polymetal International were due to drop out of the FTSE 100 into the FTSE 250 in the March review this Friday, but instead will be replaced by NB Private Equity Partners and Standard Life Private Equity Trust, with the move taking effect from next Monday. "

However, as I said before, you can be outside the FTSE Indexes but still trade on the London stock exchange as for example THG (The Hut Group) does.

I can trade THG on II so there shouldn't be any issue.

Actually I think it means it's getting removed from all FTSE indices "Evraz and Polymetal International were due to drop out of the FTSE 100 into the FTSE 250 in the March review this Friday, but instead will be replaced by NB Private Equity Partners and Standard Life Private Equity Trust, with the move taking effect from next Monday. "
But indeed they are still going to be traded on the London stock market at least for now .

If people think rationally evraz is currently suspended from trading but polymetal is not, nor has it any large shareholders that have been sanctioned.

I think a lot is more fear and misunderstanding than actual deramping though I maybe am too kind.
I would expect share price to fall some on this in short term as people get worried about what might happen next and larger funds move out (if they hadn't already).

BUT being outside FTSE doesn't mean you can't still be on the London stock market, The Hut Group (THG) being the most well known example of this.
