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.

    US "arbitrary and illegal" actions denounced at ECLAC (UN)

Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua collectively denounced on Wednesday, during the 39th session of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) in Argentina, the US-imposed "arbitrary and illegal" blockades, sanctions and measures against their nations.

They slammed the US for tightening its sanctions against their people during the Covid-19 pandemic, which i turn resulted in higher death rates as sanctions hindered all efforts to "save lives."

Venezuelan Foreign Minister Carlos Farias denounced the "terrible consequences generated by unilateral coercive measures against our countries."

Furthermore, he criticized the fact that the "disastrous unilateral coercive measures" against his country during the pandemic prevented his country from reaching accessible medical supplies.

In his speech, Nicaragua's Foreign Minister, Denis Moncada, stated that his country "has historically resisted imperial aggressions which are manifested in the so-called sanctions that are illegal, arbitrary, unilateral and that, as happens with other brother countries, have the objective of stifling us economically."

Similarly, Cuban Minister of Foreign Trade Rodrigo Malmierca Diaz also condemned the "unilateral coercive measures of some states that violate the sovereignty of other countries," adding
We specifically demand the cessation of the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the government of the United States against our country for more than 60 years, in flagrant violation of international law and the United Nations Charter."
