Really slumping...damn !, got this wrong.....will have to ride this one out....along with DGO.....oil at nearly oil time high should help along with gas price increases in the Ukraine.

gas price increase cos of putin russia bullying!

Good for him....We don't make the world ...I just want JKX shares to go up !.

thats a disgraceful statement req field!! shame on you.

he's been buying off politicians there for many years....he poisoned there president before being elected.

they r third poorest nation in europe.....u probably spend more on a meal than they get in a week at work. and russia has bullied price increases and so many have no heating or electricity.

u could be the modern stalin, req field as he starved at least 7 million ukrainians to death.....i was told its nearer 10 million people but no-one really knows

This is not a political thread...you muppet...what have you got to bring in Putin into the debate we are talking about oil and gas not politics....really !

u r THE MUPPET!!! did u go to school.....doesnt sound like it.....mind you, most people in uk are ignorant uneducated morons in this modern age

Please stop baiting people and let's stick to what this thread is all about !, that is oil and gas production in the Ukraine and Russia.

5 again now after that little dip , onwards and upwards , Dragon Oil will follow soon.

At least this one is rising....you would think that all oil and gas companies would be rocketing...but no !.

Doing fine on a bloodbath day, (sounds like a good title for a book), could be heading for around the upper 575p mark !.

STILL GOING DOWN

This could be taken over, DGO as well.....some companies are flush with money!.

i think DGO is safe from t/o while iran remains so dangerous ..... i think exxon said they would not be investing there for starters

Well DGO only routes some of its oil through Iran does not produce there and soon (a few years), the oil will flow towards Russia....any trouble out there (the Caspian sea) would affect half the oil companies on the LSE....so the sell off of Dragon Oil shares is overdone by a mile !.

JKX : up today.....you can bet your shirt (or come to that your skirt) that one of the majors will be looking at possibly taking this over (not saying that it will happen) but the big boys are flush with oil cash and none of the mid-cap oilies are safe from a takeover .....and that goes all the way up to BG.....beyond that I doubt whether Shell or BP will ever be taken over, they are just too massive !.

JKX- worth a look today?

STILL GOING DOWN

JKX is in danger from Russia...



Ukraine fears being next on Russia's hit list

Rival groups of Russian and Ukrainian demonstrators hurled insults at each other to a background of cannon fire as the Russian navys Mirage sailed into Sebastopol on Ukraines Crimean peninsula last week.

The celebratory gunfire could become all too real if fears are realised that Russia may repeat its incursion into Georgia and turn Ukraine into the next Caucasian flashpoint.

Crimea has a Russian majority population and, because of its strategic importance, Moscow deeply resented its loss at the time of the break-up of the Soviet Union.

Mirage, a guided missile corvette, returned on Friday morning to the home port of the Russian Black Sea fleet after seeing action against Georgias port of Poti, where it shelled Georgian defences and landed troops who occupied the city.

Many of the Russians waiting to greet Mirage belonged to a political party called the Russian Bloc, whose leader in Crimea, Vladimir Tyunin, said: We say categorically that Crimea should and certainly will become part of Russia.

He claimed that the Ukrainian government was trying to force native Russian-speakers to speak Ukrainian, showing only films and television programmes dubbed in Ukrainian and forcing Russians to assimilate their culture.

While Tyunin maintained that Russian annexation of Crimea would be peaceful, some of his supporters were more outspoken. One young woman said: This is Russia. We want nothing to do with Ukraine. The Ukrainians oppress our people. They are totali-tarians and fascists who take orders from America.

Her remarks were greeted with approval by others, who aired a ferocious litany of charges and threats against Ukraine. With a million Russians in Crimea, outnumbering native Ukrainians and Crimean Tatars, local loyalties are often to Moscow rather than Kiev and the presence of the base serves only to reinforce the Russian claim.

Many Crimean flags, that differ only slightly from the Russian one, fly on the streets, not only in Sebastopol but also in most other Crimean towns.

Taking part in a rival pro-Ukrainian demonstration, opposing the return of the Mirage, was Oleh Fomushkin, a former colonel in the Soviet army and now a community activist.

Moscow and its intelligence services have been active here for 17 years while the Ukrainian authorities slept or were too timid to act, he said. Theyve demonstrated their aggression in Georgia and they wont hesitate to use violence to get hold of Crimea.

Tension in Crimea has risen because of the public support for Georgia of Viktor Yushchenko, the Ukrainian president. Russia accused Ukraine of supplying weapons to Georgia and Yushchenko enraged the Kremlin by ordering restrictions on the future movements of the Russian fleet in Ukrainian waters.

The Black Sea fleet facilities are leased from Ukraine until 2017 but Ukraine, which wants to join Nato and the European Union, says it will not renew the lease. Moscow has made clear it is determined to stay.

bit of a silly remark hyleo!

crimea may be in danger from russia.......but crimea was given to ukraine from old soviet union in past.......very east of ukraine is more akin to russia......west part of ukraine wants to be part of west.

jkx is in different parts of country and i think are in areas where they want to be part of west...in which case they will be ok.....i think u need to read up on your history books hyleo
