🛢🔽 – Oil prices have fallen sharply, with Brent now below $89 dollars per barrel and Murban oil falling over 8% to just above $92 dollars per barrel.

This could be related to reports of Iran and Oman reaching a deal on the Strait of Hormuz or to Ratcliffe's visit to Moscow.

⚡️🇺🇸🇷🇺 ‐ The Kremlin denied it held talks with CIA Director John Ratcliffe or any other U.S. envoys, according to al-Jazeera, saying no talks were planned.

U.S. media, meanwhile, claim Washington alerted Ukraine to refrain from strikes during the visit.

This would be, if confirmed, the first high-level visit from Trump officials to Russia since January last year.

⚡️🇦🇲 – Armenia detained former President Kocharyan, leader of the "Armenia Alliance" Party, along with his son and four others on charges of abuse of authority, bribery, and large-scale money laundering.

His party is the second biggest opposition bloc in Parliament, and analysts say this is a clear sign to Moscow, since his party is known for its pro-Russia stance.

Kocharyan was accused of illegally selling state assets to private companies below market value during his time as President from 1998 to 2008. Former President Serzh Sargsyan, who served as Kocharyan's PM before becoming president himself, is also facing charges.

⚡️🇺🇸 – Trump announced he will lower the American flag for a whole week and throughout the United States following the death of influential country singer Dolly Parton.

⚡️🇸🇸🇺🇳 – Two United Nations peacekeepers were killed yesterday in an ambush in South Sudan's Jonglei state while on a routine patrol.

An additional seven people were injured in the attack, which no group has claimed responsibility for yet. Among the injured were three other peacekeepers, two South Sudanese police personnel and two civilians.

UNMISS, the UN Mission in South Sudan, is composed of over 14,000 military personnel, 1,400 police and 2,000 civilian workers, and has been active since the country's independence in 2011.
