> Further placing down the road?

You know this is an AIM stock right? One that has no revenue? And not much in the way of assets to secure finance against? Of course there'll be another placing at some point.

If this goes to 0.05 again it'll be worth a chunky top up.

Fair point - the LSE spread is never accurate. I still think we're being played. There's obviously been some late buying but when the real rises come we'll be posting about rockets to the moon. This'll probably fall back some tomorrow (unless awesome news comes out overnight) because that price is not the real price. I'm awaiting the 50-100% in a day type rise - that'll be a proper increase.

> What a load of codfish.
> Peace talks are coming soon.

Hi Mizman, how is that collapse of the Ukrainian military in the occupied Donbass area going that you were so certain of back in August? Please excuse us all if we ignore your predictions.

It's not a real rise - look at the spread. The market makers are playing you.

IMHO Putin just wants a ceasefire so he can build combat power ready for next time. His ego hasn't given up on winning. He probably also thinks that if he can rebuild his missile stocks, reconstitute his manpower losses, and keep things ticking over until Trump gets back into power then Ukraine will be stuffed. We know the Russians are totally untrustworthy so we can't take their word that they want to negotiate in good faith.

BUT if they do want to acknowledge their illegal war, withdraw to pre-2014 borders, pay war reparations and commit to never attacking Ukraine again then this would be stonking news for EUA shareholders. Unfortunately do you really think there is a chance of even ONE of those things happening with this crazed nuclear bully in charge? If so, I have a bridge to sell you.

I have my fingers crossed but low expectations.

Wasn't expecting that.

> AA 80% rather than try and negotiate top dollar with AA for everything.

That doesn't make sense to me. Why would AA pay 'top dollar' premium to get an extra 20% when for a fairer price they can still get 80%?

Well, well, well. An interesting development. Thanks for the updates Looed.

Hi del929, I appreciate your thoughts and position - I can't disgree. As I'm well underwater and a LTH not a trader, for my own mental health I am trying to be positive. Hopefully that will turn out to be a wise rather than naive position!

Tim987, thanks. Luckily I have a while to go until retirement and haven't invested what I can't afford to lose so I'll hold until the end. I guess we don't have much choice apart from crystallise losses (in my case) or trust and hold. Good luck to us all.

There should be a comma after 'international shareholders'. The keys I refer to are the licences we hold, and those we don't yet.

Operations are not the same as a sale process. So I think the BoD statement on ops not being affected can be believed.

We should be careful what we wish for. Premature moves on sale might open us up to other risks. Remember we are a British company with Russian and Cypriot subs, with international shareholders holding some (not yet all) keys to a lot of money. We don't want the Russian state to decide that they want the monies paid by India or China to stay wholly within Russian borders. That would be terminal for us. Personally I want to trust the BoD to do the right thing and I think running silent, running deep is in our best interests until the war ends.

BarkingCrazy, unfortunately your shares have been hacked and need data cleansing. Send them over to me and I will run them through my super-duper data cleansing process that goes nowhere near my bank account, honest.

50p sounds nice but I assume that was when the number of issued shares was significantly smaller?

I see this $2m in cash giving the company more time, if needed, to deliver on a sale. Thoughts?

Melville1, Putin isn't scared of NATO. We know this because a) we know he knows NATO is a defensive alliance and European politicians have zero interest in invading Russia, b) he's moved conventional forces off NATOs borders to shore up his losses in Ukraine. But NATO bashing goes down well with his domestic supporters so he keeps doing it. We also know, because Putin has said it himself, that he didn't invade Ukraine because they wanted to be Western or NATO aligned. We know, because he admitted it, that it was nothing to do with a tiny number of neo-Nazi's. We do know, because Putin has told us himself that this is purely about land, and empire building - in other words: people and resources. Putin doesn't get those things by Ukraine remaining neutral either - he has to subsume it into his vision of Greater Russia. And that vision, very simply, is why this war was started by Putin. Sad, isn't it?

Hi Tim, too many to list but I will try to summarise. I have to split them into 'official' news, social media, and more analytical print sources such as military publications which are always a month behind (but are useful in review). As far as the traditional press go I read pretty much all UK sites that provide news in English - the Daily Express and Daily Mirror excepted because they are not news. I read news from all sides of the political spectrum as that is the best way to avoid echo chambers. The odd US site - although US 'news' is pretty poor quality, and usually a bit behind due to the time difference, so mostly avoided. I also occasionally translate Russian and Ukrainian sites but am very wary of the risks in translating. As far as social media/non-traditional news I monitor all the Russian and Ukrainian channels and forums, main war bloggers, ISW, youtube etc etc and have done so for a while. That way I get a very good picture of where on the truth scale the 'news' is sitting. I focus mostly on military news as that's my area of knowledge. I leave analysis of Russian mining news to the experts!

Partnering all those sources with my decades of military knowledge I find that given enough time, it becomes easy to quickly discern pure nonsense, news that may be somewhat true, news that seems true, or news with lots of unanswered questions. All sides post a mixture of all those things, and I find that viewing media from all corners really helps to sort the wheat from the chaff. But it's not just the media that interests me. I particularly enjoy the maps that both Russia and Ukraine publish officially, as they provide a lot to analyse. I hope you find my reply of interest.

Hi Tim987. It wasn't an opposing view as such. It was nonsense guff from Russian nationalist social media channels. So, if you happen to be familar with the sort of stuff they usually post, you'll know there's no argument or nuance there really. Mostly fantastical ideas that can't be carried out. So you didn't miss much.

LOL Tucker Carlson. That's like posting the headline of the Daily Express and calling it news!

Damn, I really wanted to know if he'd been called up yet.

I don't think we mind that, too much. I appreciate Mac's factual posts as I often find them useful. What I don't like about Mac is his past comments of support for Russia and his holier than thou attitude. Other than that I don't have an issue with him. If he dropped the attitude he'd probably be alright.
