KIEV, Jan. 12 – The National Police on January 11 again unexpectedly raided the offices of Poltava Petroleum Company, a subsidiary of Britain's JKX Oil&Gas Plc with assets in Ukraine.

"We will be bringing this matter up with the relevant authorities in Kiev. I believe these actions to be a distraction for JKX and damaging to Ukraine's investment climate," CEO of JKX Tom Reed said in a report of JKX on the London Stock Exchange (LSE) on Thursday.
