The UX index gained by 4.5% last week on the back of a 20% advance in UkrNafta (UNAF) to UAH 290 per share. There was a piece of positive information that the Highest Court supported the company in its claim against the State Tax Service which tried to assess an additional tax of about UAH 4.3bn. Currently, there is no information regarding UkrNafta’s financial situation as companies in Ukraine delayed publication of their operating and financial results due to imposition of the martial law in the country amid the russian full-scale military aggression.

In London trading, MHP (MHPC) slipped by 2.5% to USD 3.90.
