Where are prices going this week. We lost £28 last week.
Up I would think.
Realisation that Putin might not just do as he says on getting grain out of Ukraine should have dawned on the traders by now. Many of them were on holiday last week so should be due a correction when they come back.

I'm perhaps concerned with zelenskyys view that he will sacrifice many Ukrainians to protect every inch of Ukraine, when what he's talking about is a fairly arbitrary line in the sand. He wants to negotiate but has no desire to actually alter sny of his demands. Like many moments in history, the boundary of what he considers Ukraine was set in a time of good faith and covered a lot of historic and ethic Russia.

It's a sad day when two sides rampant nationalism and a sense of a mythical historic golden age are played out with the lives of lads not much older than my sons. But big countries, splitting into smaller countries, then joining new ones and the associated squabbles are nothing new.

The west will applaud Ukraine splitting from Russia and having a vite to join nato, but they will take the opposite view of Crimea and donbas voting to join Russia.

The fact it played out with the lives of the next generation, and the vandalism of swathes of their joint, peaceful history is beyond disgusting.

I have many friends from uni on both sides. Families with relatives on both sides of a conflict. I've studied the region for many years - I expect I'm one of a few here who has done academic study on the making of modern Ukraine, or on geopolitics of the region.

Anyway, way off topic. If you want my thoughts on the conflict you're welcome to pm. If it's just to direct abuse then please title so and I'll put it in the bin.

At the very least Google Firtash and see if you think he's the kind of chap you'd like to go out to dinner with. And tell me if you think he is a person of good character.
Respect

with regard to the oligarchs. They all sprung up out of the back of communism and all were in a position to either seize or be given state owned utilities, services and assets and call them their own.
We often talk about ruthless businessmen over here who have liquidated several companies owing thousands and making life a struggle for the creditors, before finally having their breakthrough success. Now imagine that and times it by a thousand and that probably doesn’t come close to how an oligarch got his wealth.

No difference to this country after war then.
 
Over sold last week
The funds that provide the liquidity would have took risk off last week
Fundamentles have not changed
Russia will carry on with its master plan to take over every country in eastern and Central Europe that the eu and nato allow it to do ( just as nazi Germany did in the 1930s)
they will restrict energy and grain sales to promote disunity
