FTSE 250 movers: Travel-related stocks see profit-taking on Ukraine headlines

(Sharecast News) - Travel-related stocks were the main drag on the second-tier index as negative headlines around the war in Ukraine triggered some profit-taking following gains earlier in the week. Earlier, a Russian general reportedly said that one of Moscow's goals was to take control of all of Ukraine's Black Sea coast.

In parallel, Prime Minister Boris Johnson warned that the conflict could conceivably last years.

Against that backdrop, shares of TUI, Easyjet, Carnival and SSP Group all traded lower.

Headed in the other direction, shares of repair services firm Homeserve leapt higher after it revealed that it was in talks Canada's Brookfield Asset Management for a possible offer.
