BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva will not visit Russia or Ukraine until the two countries commit to de-escalation, Brazilian media reported on Saturday.  

Lula, who is on a visit to Portugal, told reporters on Saturday, "We need to create a group of countries that will sit down at the negotiating table with both Ukraine and Russia to find peace."

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has scheduled a visit to Brazil to meet with his counterpart Mauro Vieira he has also conveyed the invitation of Russian President Vladimir Putin to Lula da Silva to visit Russia.

The Brazillian President recently visited the UAE and told reporters in Abu Dhabi, "Europe and the US continue to give their way of contributing to continuing the war. So they have to sit around the table and say, 'That's enough'."

He also pushed for the creation of a "political G20" in order to bring peace to the Ukrainian-Russian feud.

Lula's comments in China and the UAE have put him under strong criticism from Western officials and media, who accused him of parroting "Russian and Chinese propaganda."

According to US National Security Council Spokesperson John Kirby, Lula's neutral position on bringing an end to the Ukranian crisis are "deeply problematic."

Furthermore, Ukrainians in Lisbon held a demonstration outside the Brazillian embassy on Friday in response to Lula's comments and accused him of supporting a "terrorist state."

Although Lula did not state his support to any of the sides the West has Angry about Lula's comments about the war, and the Ukrainian community in Portugal held a demonstration outside the Brazilian embassy on Friday.

EU top official Josep Borrel has previously described neutrality on Ukraine as disguised support for "Russia and its war of aggression."

The West's strict anti-Russian stance makes it difficult for a fair and peaceful settlement to the situation in Ukraine which is evident in the continuous armament of the Ukrainian army instead of working out a solution that would take the interests of both parties into consideration.
