The primary element is commitment to neutrality for Ukraine: no membership in a hostile military alliance, no hosting of weapons aimed at Russia (even those misleadingly called “defensive”), no military maneuvers with hostile military forces.
If the Ukrainian President had the moral courage to declare Ukraine as a neutral country that will never join NATO, then the war will end much sooner rather than later.
However, Zelensky is not allowed to follow that path.

Hi Toneman,

"I would expect that Ukraine are also 'buying' all the defence armaments we're providing so that the West remains a 'neutral bystander"

You would expect ... YOU must be joking.
The UK is one of Saudi Arabia’s leading arms suppliers, along with the US. It is also a major supplier of arms to the United Arab Emirates, another country in the coalition that is bombing Yemen.

U.S and U.K are now making BIG money from the scenario by selling weapons.
USA has been pushing no deal situation for a long time, at least for 3 decades.
Zelensky is a puppet letting his people get killed by elongating this war.
As some of you on this thread wrote "Biden is a geriatric puppet of the military industry complex who pushes NO DEAL scenario, and it’s s all about the money."

While the market has dropped the valuations of many Russian companies, the underlying assets still contain the same gold, alumina, diamonds and other commodities. That might be a tempting buy for some...

777 - 840 - 783 !!!

Britain is Saudi Arabia's second largest arms dealer after the US, providing military exports worth £10.3bn over the past decade despite continued condemnation of the kingdom's use of British weaponry in its bombing of Yemen... if USA and UK had wanted to prevent this war, they could have done it. However, we wanted this war, and we make things harder to be resolved in Ukraine itself.

Is it to buy or not to buy at this price? 4781?

Thank you for comment

Good morning Mr A Smith,

It is complicated to understand how political changes around the world will impact our investment outcomes,
Using Russia as a scapegoat just doesn’t hold up on the logic meter. The assertion by Biden and Johnson, and many other top Western leaders has been that blocking Russian oil and gas to the West is leading to inflation in multiple sectors of the economy, but it’s “necessary” to stop Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
One might assume that we use a lot of Russian oil. We don’t. Especially not in USA.
There is no way that sanctions on Russian oil and gas are the cause of rising prices, nor do these sanctions have any effect on the power in Russia. Inflation was hitting 40-year highs back in December of 2021, well before the war in Ukraine. In fact, the Fed’s interest rate hikes moves oil markets far more than the war on Ukraine.
I would have a special message for Biden and Johnson .Please do us a favor and shut up, and stop sending weapons to Ukraine. (lethal defensive assistance - Washington bull****) . Western nations must ask themselves whether the current course of action is less likely to help end the war. The consequences of flooding Ukraine with weapons are unpredictable and likely disastrous,
A sizable increase in U.S. and NATO weapons transfers will prolong the conflict and result in even more deaths and destruction.
Are we smarter than Biden, Johnson, Sholtz, and Macron, or maybe we are not. Their propaganda script is full of holes.

Time to sell ...

The arms industry is without morals; it has no conscience. The connections between this industry and the political establishment should be an embarrassment for a government that claims to care about human rights and peace.

Time to buy!

Biden could stop this crisis and prevent a war by
guaranteeing that Ukraine will never become a member of NATO. He did not want to do that. USA and NATO want Russia to invade Ukraine. WHY? To have an excuse to start new Cold War. The military industrial complex is the one that benefits from this. They clearly control the Biden administration, and so many politicians in the USA/UK/EU.
This business will make much more money than fighting in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya... Somebody could get another Nobel Prize for PEACE by not preventing this horrible war. "We have to defend democracy" - are we sure that Biden is the one who has credibility to say something like that.

JPMORGAN CUTS SMITH & NEPHEW PRICE TARGET TO 1,379 (1,579) PENCE - 'NEUTRAL'

CREDIT SUISSE CUTS SMITH & NEPHEW PRICE TARGET TO 1,700 (1,805) PENCE - 'OUTPERFORM'

BERENBERG CUTS SMITH & NEPHEW PRICE TARGET TO 1700
This is brutal. Now 1200p.

Is there any economic logic behind these price targets or are they just random numbers?

It seems I am here the only one who thinks the NATO countries with developed military industry and ex -Nazi puppet countries from the WII war push the conflict with Russia.
Anyway...

Despite pledges from many banks that they would review, limit, or phase out coal financing in the energy transition, lenders have financed the coal industry globally with $1.5 trillion since 2019, a report from Germany-based NGO Urgewald cited by Bloomberg shows. Mizuho Financial Group, Barclays, Citigroup, and JPMorgan Chase were the largest lenders for coal, while Chinese banks topped the ranking of underwriting capital the coal industry has raised over the past two years, according to the study by Urgewald and its partners.

The main problem in the country - there is many BJ-idiots in charge.

Top up time !

I think CEO did not summarise ITM position well at all.

Noam Chomsky
I don't know what word in the English language I can't find one that applies to people who are willing to sacrifice the literal existence of organized human life so they can put a few more dollars into highly overstuffed pockets. The word evil doesn't begin to approach it.
Maybe "Capitalist"!?
