BREAKING
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.
Sheikh Qassem: The government’s latest decision [on the disarmament of the Resistance] is non-charter-based, and if the government continues down this path, it is not faithful to Lebanon’s sovereignty.

Canada’s Foreign Ministry announced on Monday that Canada is sending an extra $20 million in military aid to Ukraine in response to Russia’s special operation there.

In a statement, Global Affairs Canada said, "Melanie Joly, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Anita Anand, Minister of National Defence, announced that Canada will be sending an additional C$25M [US$20 million] ]in military aid to support Ukraine in its efforts to retain sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence."

The aids will consist of tools such as helmets, body armor, gas masks, and night vision gear, as per the statement.

The Canadian Armed Forces will also be sending two tactical transport jets and a crew of 40-50 soldiers to monitor the delivery process through NATO in Europe, the statement said.

Previously, the Canadian government had sent batches of lethal military aid to Ukraine amid tensions with Russia.

The UK follows suit

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson told Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky during a phone conversation today, Monday, that the UK would send more military support to Ukraine "in the coming hours and days," Downing Street stated.

"The Prime Minister updated President Zelensky on UK military support being sent to Ukraine, and committed to sending more in the coming hours and days," the readout of Johnson’s call with Zelensky said.

Hungary rules out transit

As for Hungary, it will not permit the transit of lethal weapons to Ukraine through its lands, for the purpose of ensuring the security of the country and citizens, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said on Monday.

"We will not allow deliveries of lethal weapons to transit the territory of Hungary... The reason for making this decision is that such deliveries might become targets of hostile military action, and I want to underline again that we have to ensure security of Hungary and the Hungarian people and ensure that we are not getting involved in that war," Szijjarto said in a Facebook post on his account.

It is true that Hungary contributed to activating the European peace system, Szijjarto continued, but it made it clear that the country will not be sending troops or arms to Ukraine, as Budapest does not want to be involved in the war.

Last Thursday, Russia launched a special operation to demilitarize and "denazify" Ukraine, in response to requests from the Donetsk and Lugansk people's republics for assistance in combating Ukrainian troops' aggression. The special operation is only targeting Ukrainian military facilities, according to the Russian Defense Ministry, and the civilian population is not at risk. Moscow has stated that it has no intention of occupying Ukraine.
