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.

Balazs Orban, the Political Director of Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban, stated that Hungary is making efforts to convince European Union member states to resume diplomatic dialogue with Moscow.

"Our position has remained the same for many years: there can be no military solution on the battlefield. We must return to diplomacy. We are trying to convince our allies of this in Brussels and elsewhere," Orban said in an interview for the Austrian newspaper Exxpress.

Simultaneously, he observed that despite Russia initiating its special military operation in Ukraine, the Western nations persist in exacerbating the war.

"We do not consider this a good idea, because this path will either lead to the collapse of the Ukrainian army or to an escalation that will lead to a third world war. In short, the Hungarian and Russian positions differ for obvious reasons. But we also believe that the West bears responsibility," Orban said.

Putin: US 'needs to stop supplying weapons'

On Thursday, American journalist Tucker Carlson aired his interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin, marking the first occasion of a Western journalist conducting such an interview since the launch of the special military operation in Ukraine in February 2022.

Vladimir Putin conveyed to Carlson that Washington should acknowledge Moscow's interests and work to convince Ukraine to engage in negotiations. Additionally, the Russian President expressed optimism about reaching an agreement to secure the release of US reporter Evan Gershkovich, who has been detained in Russia since last March.
 
The Russian President emphasized the need to safeguard Russian speakers in Ukraine and prevent the nation from becoming a threat to Russia by joining NATO. He also brought up various narratives concerning the Kiev government, stressing the presence of neo-Nazis.

Putin highlighted Zelensky's rejection of engaging in talks with the Kremlin. He asserted that it is the responsibility of Washington to cease the supply of weapons to Ukraine and persuade Kiev, which he referred to as a US "satellite" to participate in negotiations.

“We have never refused negotiations,” Putin said. “You should tell the current Ukrainian leadership to stop and come to a negotiating table.”
