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.

During a virtual meeting held on Tuesday, G7 country leaders said in a joint statement they are exploring ways to ensure Ukraine's reconstruction is supported with sanctioned Russian assets, which they described as "Russian funds."

"Ensuring Ukraine's recovery and reconstruction, including exploring avenues to do so with funds from Russia; pursuing accountability for Russia crimes committed during the war," the G7 said in the joint statement.

The virtual meeting was held in response to Russia's precision-guided missile strikes yesterday. Moscow launched these attacks in retaliation for Ukraine's attack on the Crimean Bridge, which links Russia with Crimea.

The joint statement said the member countries will "continue to coordinate efforts to meet Ukraine's urgent requirements for military and defense equipment."

Regarding the damage caused to the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines, the statement said the G7 members were "deeply troubled" by the deliberate damage caused to the pipelines and welcomed investigations into the incident.

Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson said late Monday that Stockholm had no plans to allow Russia to participate in the ongoing probe into the explosions on the Nord Stream gas pipelines.

"In Sweden, preliminary investigations are confidential, and this is certainly true in this case," Andersson said, according to AFP.

Russian President Vladimir Putin accused the West of being behind the damage to the Nord Stream pipelines. He said it had already "practically begun to destroy shared European energy infrastructure," stressing that "it is obvious to all who is profiting from this."

Russian energy giant Gazprom said on Monday that a NATO mine destroyer was discovered around the Nord Stream 1 natural gas pipeline in November 2015.

Spokesperson Sergei Kupriyanov recalled how NATO claimed at the time that the device was lost during exercises conducted in the region. He also highlighted how the device was pulled out by the Swedish armed forces, who then defused it.

Previous reports said Flightradar24 data showed that US military helicopters habitually and on numerous occasions circled for hours over the site of the Nord Stream pipelines incident near Bornholm Island earlier in September.
