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.

As the war in Ukraine continues, Japan has imposed fresh sanctions on over 140 Russians, the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), and the Lugansk People's Republic (LPR), including Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, as well as 71 Russian enterprises, including Almaz-Antey.

The new sanctions list is now available on the Japanese Foreign Ministry's website.

Initially, it was stated that sanctions had been placed on 133 Russians, LPRs, and DPRs. According to the complete lists, there are 141 in all, with eight in Russia and 133 in the LPR and DPR.

Decision to abandon Russian oil painful, Kishida

According to the Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida on Monday, Japan has made a tough choice to ban Russian oil imports because G7 unanimity "matters most".

Following the G7 meeting, Kishida told a press briefing that he and the G7 leaders, as well as Zelensky, exchanged and reiterated solidarity with Ukraine.

"Considering oil, for our country heavily dependent on energy imports, this was a hard decision, but now it is the time when G7 cohesion matters most. Taking into account the G7 leaders’ statement, we ruled basically to ban imports of Russian oil."

Kishida also reaffirmed Japan's commitment to maintaining its holdings in the Sakhalin-1 and Sakhalin-2 natural gas and oil extraction projects, while indicating that Tokyo intends to phase out oil imports on projects in which it also has a part.

"As for oil imports from our country's share [in the Russian projects], bearing in mind that they contribute to a durable, low-cost, and steady supply of energy, we will be scaling it down gradually to minimize the damaging effects on the people's lives and business activity," he stated.

G7 leaders virtually gathered on Sunday to discuss the latest events in Ukraine, with Zelensky also present. The G7 governments committed to continuing to impose sanctions on Russia for the operation in Ukraine by "phasing out or banning the import of Russian oil."

In addition, the G7 also committed to "reinforce Russia's isolation across all sectors of its economy," by cutting off the country from the "key services on which Russia depends."
