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.

The Kremlin says there are no preliminary contacts regarding a possible meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Joe Biden.

Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov pointed out on Friday that Moscow does not have any information about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's new peace plan.

On Thursday, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing Ukrainian and European diplomats, that Zelensky's administration had been finalizing a 10-point "peace formula" initially mentioned at the G20 summit in Bali and would likely present it in late February.

"No, we are not aware of this. We have heard statements by president Zelensky about various steps, they are also about a peace plan. But everything that president Zelensky has said so far has been said without taking into account the current realities ... which cannot be ignored," Peskov told reporters.

A few days ago, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres revealed that he is not optimistic about the possibility of "effective" peace talks between Ukraine and Russia in the near future. 

Russian President Vladimir Putin had assured that he is open to listening to proposals calling for immediate and medium-term solutions concerning the war in Ukraine. 

Earlier this month, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said his country is ready for peace talks with Ukraine if a concrete proposal that is considerate of Moscow's interests is presented.

No preliminary contacts on possible Putin-Biden meeting

In a related context, the Kremlin Spokesperson confirmed that there are no preliminary contacts regarding a possible meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Joe Biden.

"There are no preliminary contacts in this regard," he told reporters.

On Wednesday, Zelensky arrived at the White House and met with Biden in light of the ongoing war in his country.

The Ukrainian President also called for increased unilateral sanctions against Russia, arguing that Congress had the capacity to impose stronger sanctions. 

Ban on Gazprom Gas purchase from joint EU ventures response to unfriendly action

Elsewhere in his remarks, Peskov made clear that restrictions for Gazprom on the purchase of gas from joint ventures with European companies are not a response to the introduction of a Western price cap but to the actions of unfriendly countries.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin issued a decree, according to which Gazprom is restricted from buying gas from joint ventures with gas companies OMV and Wintershall, with which the company produces gas at the Urengoy and Yuzhno-Russkoye fields, if the amount of obligations exceeds the limit set by the government.

"No, this is a decision that is not related to this European innovation [gas price cap]. This is, in fact, a response to the actions of a number of unfriendly countries," the Russian diplomat said.
