    Jayden Daniels' Injury and Recovery Timeline Uncertain

    Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels dislocated his left elbow in Week 2 against the Dallas Cowboys, raising concerns about his availability for the season. The team is seeking multiple medical opinions, and his return timeline remains uncertain. Daniels has a history of elbow injuries, having missed seven games due to the same issue last season. The Commanders face a decision on whether to place him on injured reserve, which would sideline him for at least four games. Meanwhile, backup Marcus Mariota will start in Daniels' absence.

    Ukraine Proposes Sanctions Against Russian Billionaires Lisin and Potanin

    Ukraine has proposed to the European Union to impose sanctions against Russian billionaires Vladimir Lisin and Vladimir Potanin, following the EU's decision to lift sanctions against Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman. The Ukrainian President's representative for sanctions policy, Vladislav Vlasyuk, suggested that including Lisin (owner of NLMK) and Potanin (head of Norilsk Nickel) in the EU sanctions list would effectively cut off their companies from trading on the European market. These businessmen have so far avoided sanctions due to the significant presence of their enterprises in Europe.

    Oil Flows Through Hormuz Despite Iran's Attacks; 'Dark Fleet' Emerges

    Despite Iran's attacks on ships and Washington's blockade, around 10-17 million barrels of oil per day are still passing through the Strait of Hormuz. An 'Arab dark fleet' of over 100 tankers operating without Automatic Identification System (AIS) is shuttling oil from Gulf ports into the Gulf of Oman, transferring cargo at sea to other tankers. This adaptation is working but at extraordinary cost, with tanker rates rising from around $50,000/day to over $1 million/day. Meanwhile, Iran's own major crude exports have effectively collapsed.
