They explore geopolitical issues, the indictment of Raul Castro, oil prices, nuclear drills, the Russia-Ukraine war, and new industrial developments in the DPRK. 1. Raul Castro indicted by US on murder and conspiracy charges. Article from Granma (Official newspaper of Communist Party of Cuba):https://en.granma.cu/cuba/2026-05-20/cuba-condemns-the-despicable-accusation-against-the-leader-of-the-revolutionSummary: Cuba condemned new accusations by the U.S. Department of Justice against Raúl Castro, calling them a political provocation tied to the 1996 Brothers to the Rescue incident. Cuba argues the aircraft repeatedly violated Cuban airspace and says the shootdown was an act of self-defense after multiple warnings and complaints. The statement also accuses the U.S. of hypocrisy and says the accusations are being used to justify continued sanctions and pressure against Cuba.2. Belarus and Russia Nuclear exercise. Article: ‘Lukashenko and Putin Place Nuclear Forces on Full Combat Readiness’https://news.by/eng/news/politika/lukashenko-and-putin-place-nuclear-forces-on-full-combat-readinessSummary: Alexander Lukashenko and Vladimir Putin personally attended large-scale Belarusian-Russian nuclear readiness drills, which simulated the operation of nuclear forces without using live warheads. Belarus and Russia said the exercises were defensive and meant to test military readiness, coordination, and deterrence capabilities amid growing NATO military activity near their borders. The article argues that NATO expansion and militarisation in Eastern Europe are responsible for escalating tensions, while Belarus and Russia are presenting the drills as a warning that they are prepared to defend themselves if pushed further. Lukashenko also claimed Belarus remains open to negotiations and peace talks with Ukraine, while accusing Western governments of blocking diplomatic solutions.3.

IEA warning that oil prices could hit ‘Red Zone by July https://www.telesurenglish.net/oil-market-headed-for-red-zone-by-july-iea-warns/Summary: The International Energy Agency warned that global oil markets could enter a critical “red zone” by July due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz during the ongoing U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran. The disruption has sharply reduced oil and gas exports from the Persian Gulf, raising fears of supply shortages during the busy summer travel season. IEA Director Fatih Birol said strategic oil reserves are being depleted rapidly and that reopening the Strait of Hormuz is the only long-term solution. The article notes that Brent crude oil prices surged from around $70 per barrel before the conflict to a peak of $126, before later settling near $108 per barrel, while countries like Iraq are facing severe economic strain from the crisis.5.
