A recent announcement by Russian Deputy Prime Minister and Co-Chair of the Joint Intergovernmental Commission, Dmitry Chernyshenko, indicates that Russia and Cuba will work together to develop a cancer vaccine.

This innovation will be possible thanks to the scientific exchanges between the two countries that have been underway since last year.

In this regard, it was revealed that in 2025, “Russia supplied Cuba with 600 substances for the production of pharmaceuticals.” As a further step in this exchange, a memorandum of understanding was signed for the “joint development of an oncovaccine.”

Regarding the cancer vaccine, last May the director of the Cuban Institute of Oncology and Radiology, Luis Eduardo Martín, indicated that the two countries are conducting scientific exchanges with the N. P. Napalkov Clinical Scientific and Practical Center, based in St. Petersburg, Russia, including the development of cancer medications.

Currently, trials are being conducted on Cuban patients with a biosimilar of the monoclonal antibody Pembrolizumab, showing good results in the localization of melanomas and lymphomas.

The new delegate for the restoration of relations between Venezuela and the International Monetary Fund is Álvaro Piris Chávarri.

“Piris has experience in managing financial crises and has led technical advisory visits to Africa, Asia, and Eastern Europe. He is currently the head of mission for Ethiopia.”

The selection of the new delegate means that the IMF will conduct its first Article IV consultations in Venezuela since 2004; this document provides a detailed overview of the country’s economy and could unlock access to billions of dollars in frozen Special Drawing Rights (SDRs).

The organization’s interest in resuming relations with Venezuela has accelerated following the easing of sanctions by the United States government and the OFAC’s licenses in strategic sectors, such as oil and mining.

ESET, the leading company in proactive threat detection, announced a €40 million investment in the future of AI-driven cybersecurity, as the company warns of a rapidly emerging new attack surface fueled by autonomous, agency-enabled AI systems.

The commitment — announced by ESET CEO Richard Marko at ESET World 2026 — comes in response to a shift ESET has observed in its own data. Since March 2026, ESET technologies have analyzed nearly 800,000 unique AI skills (modular components that instruct AI agents on how to perform tasks, use tools, access services, and interact with external systems). Approximately 25,000 of these skills were classified as suspicious, and more than 3,000 were blocked for being malicious.

This total represents a 13-fold increase compared to the approximately 60,000 publicly available skills observed earlier this year. According to ESET’s research team, AI skills are part of a rapidly growing layer in the software supply chain, often connecting sensitive systems to external repositories, plugins, datasets, and third-party services.

“Cybersecurity is entering a completely new era,” said Richard Marko, CEO of ESET. “Artificial intelligence is no longer just a defensive tool. It is becoming part of the attack surface itself. Our investment is focused on ensuring that AI strengthens cybersecurity rather than weakening it, and on developing technologies capable of protecting organizations in a world of autonomous AI.”

The initiative aims to strengthen ESET’s technological independence and European sovereignty in cybersecurity at a time when access to advanced artificial intelligence systems is increasingly concentrated in the hands of a small number of global technology companies. “We believe that the future of cybersecurity cannot depend entirely on models controlled by large technology companies,” added Marko.

“In cybersecurity, sovereignty matters”

Backed by a three-year recruitment plan that will grow ESET’s R&D team to 1,000 dedicated research and engineering professionals, the €40 million investment will focus on three strategic areas:

• Independent, security-priority core AI models
• A comprehensive, layered AI security architecture
• The next-generation AI SOC

“ESET has long been at the forefront of applying AI to cybersecurity,” said Juraj Jánošík, Vice President of Artificial Intelligence at ESET. “What is changing now is the role that AI plays.” AI tools are becoming part of everyday work, autonomous systems are expanding the attack surface, and security teams need faster ways to respond to threats. This investment allows us to work across the spectrum: protecting the use of AI, building AI models for cybersecurity, and incorporating autonomous capabilities into security operations under human supervision.”

Standard, security-priority AI models

ESET will accelerate the development of its own security-centric AI models, designed specifically for cybersecurity applications. Unlike general-purpose AI systems trained on broad internet content, ESET’s models will be optimized using cybersecurity telemetry and real-world threat intelligence gathered over ESET’s nearly 35-year history.

The company will continue to expand its existing AI-powered technologies (such as ESET LiveGrid, ESET LiveCortex, and ESET LiveGuard) while exploring emerging AI concepts, including “World Models” capable of understanding behavior, context, and intent within digital environments.

Design, development, and implementation of a comprehensive, layered AI security architecture

As AI becomes more integrated into everyday business operations, ESET is developing a comprehensive, AI-native security architecture designed to protect organizations against emerging AI-driven risks and threats. The investment will include the development of ESET Secure AI Relay, a secure intermediary layer between users, AI agents, business applications, and AI models.

The leading cybersecurity company will also develop network-level safeguards and protections for communication between AI agents. ESET AI Skills Checker (a free tool launched at the RSAC 2026 conference), along with its enhanced versions integrated into ESET products, was specifically designed for this emerging ecosystem of agent-based AI systems.

Building the Next Generation AI SOC

A new generation of AI-powered Security Operations Center (SOC) technologies will be designed to address the increasing scale and complexity of modern detection and response environments. Instead of simply replacing analysts with AI agents, ESET aims to fundamentally rethink how cybersecurity telemetry is processed, correlated, and understood. The company’s vision is to make advanced AI-powered cybersecurity accessible not only to large enterprises but also to small and medium-sized organizations through supervised and highly automated protection technologies.

“Cybersecurity cannot grow simply by adding more alerts, more dashboards, and more complexity,” added Marko. “The industry needs to take another major leap forward. We believe that artificial intelligence should help make world-class cybersecurity simple and accessible to everyone.”

A new scenario is emerging on the UN Security Council following the organization’s secret ballot for non-permanent members. Germany, despite being the largest economy in Europe, lost its seat to Austria and Portugal for the region.

Trinidad and Tobago and Zimbabwe were elected as non-permanent member states for Latin America and the Caribbean for the 2027-2028 term.

To understand how the election of seats works, the allocation by region is detailed below: one country from the African group, one country from the Latin American and Caribbean group, one country from the Asia-Pacific group, two countries from the Western European group, and other states.

The rule stipulates that to be elected members, nations need the support of two-thirds of the General Assembly, which in this case comprises 127 countries.

It is a fact that official economic decisions are beginning to yield positive results, and this is happening in record time. The Central Bank of Venezuela reported single-digit inflation at the end of May 2026, the lowest inflation rate in the last 19 months.

The publication on the BCV’s official website also notes that the National Consumer Price Index (INPC) registered a month-on-month variation of 6.3 %, adding that “With this marked downward trend, we are entering a path of deceleration for 2026.”

The economic decisions made by President (E) Delcy Rodríguez have been firm so far in 2026. First, the restructuring of the economic team, appointing Calixto Ortega Sánchez as vice president of the area and then the economist Luis Pérez as president of the Central Bank of Venezuela. In addition, there is the call for the restructuring of the external debt and the reintegration of Venezuela into international organizations, such as the World Bank and the IMF, which adds transparency to the process.

This has led to and made possible a series of economic successes, including GDP growth in the first quarter of the year, as well as reaching single-digit inflation in May.

Finally, the Central Bank president had already warned of this, stating, “We are going to have single-digit inflation and a significant slowdown for the rest of the year,” which, according to economic analysts, is a major achievement after only a month in office.

The economic plan focuses primarily on the recovery of the oil and mining industries, which will guarantee economic growth, and secondly on strengthening a more efficient exchange rate system to ensure inflation control and investment in capital goods.

Ultimately, the recovery plan aims for a long period of economic growth with moderate inflation.

Meta, the company that owns the WhatsApp messaging application, may soon activate new technology that will identify fraudulent or dangerous messages from unknown numbers.

Scams via messaging or cell phone calls have increased in recent months. Meta’s strategy focuses on the security of its platform users, preventing their sensitive data from being compromised or stolen.

WhatsApp will send a notification to users “if it detects potential fraudulent messages with a new optional tool, which the company is currently working on.” According to the specialized portal WABetaInfo, the test is being conducted in the beta version of the Android application (v2.26.22.2).

It’s a proprietary technology tool that analyzes incoming messages from unknown contacts directly on the user’s device. If it detects what could be a scam, it “allows the user to choose what they want to do: block and report the sender or continue the conversation.”

An important detail is that, because it operates on the user’s own device, the message analysis “does not send any information to other servers, not even those of Meta – WhatsApp’s parent company –” thus ensuring privacy with end-to-end encryption.

The tool will be optional and will be disabled by default. It runs in the background, without interrupting user activity, and includes a history showing when and how the alert was triggered.

A delegation from the Canadian government recently visited Venezuela to assess the reopening of its embassy in the South American nation and the potential return of diplomats.

“The possibility of re-establishing a permanent diplomatic presence in Caracas comes after the profound political changes in Venezuela this year and after two Canadian officials recently traveled to the Venezuelan capital to evaluate, among other things, the conditions of the Canadian diplomatic mission,” Bloomberg reported.

The Canadian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement clarifying that the country continues to monitor the evolving situation in Venezuela, “including the possibility of conditions allowing for the re-establishment of a physical diplomatic presence in the country.”

Canada has not had accredited diplomats in Venezuela since 2019. However, Wendy Drukier, Director General for South America and Western Hemisphere Affairs at the Canadian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, explained last March that the embassy was never formally closed and remains operational with a reduced number of local staff.

In any case, any reopening will depend on “diplomats receiving the necessary accreditation and legal guarantees to perform their duties safely.”
