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.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov referred to US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Asian tour and her probable visit to Taiwan as a provoked move that only escalates tensions in the region. 

He announced Russia’s support for China and understanding of Beijing's “absolutely justified” attitude towards the situation, claiming that "instead of respecting this sensitivity, unfortunately, the United States chooses the path of such a confrontation," adding that it neither promises a positive outcome.

Kremlin hopes for JCPOA restoration, prisoner exchange still unresolved

The Kremlin anticipates that the Iranian nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), will be resumed as soon as possible but due to unfriendly actions of the West, spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday that there are new realities to face. 

In response, US President Joe Biden said that Washington developed proposals for the full resumption of the JCPOA, in order for Iran to not claim nuclear weapons.

"As far as we understand, work is still ongoing. There are several issues on the agenda. In addition, there are certain new realities associated with the unfriendly steps of the countries of the collective West against Russia, which are indirectly projected onto some provisions of a possible deal. More work is needed to solve these issues. But of course, we would like this deal to resume as soon as possible," Peskov disclosed to reporters.

Peskov further emphasized that talks between Russia and the US concerning the exchange of prisoners must remain discrete as opposed to resorting to what he referred to as “megaphone diplomacy”, while White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed Russia had made a counteroffer which the US does not view as a serious effort.

Kremlin: talks on new START with US must occur as soon as possible

Moscow has repeatedly talked about the importance of conducting talks with Washington on the New START (Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty), Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday. 

Earlier this week, US President Joe Biden said that his administration is ready to promptly negotiate a new arms control framework to replace the New START treaty with Russia when it expires in 2026. 

"Moscow has repeatedly talked about the need to start such negotiations as soon as possible because there is little time left. If the treaty ceases to exist without being replaced by a solid other bases, this will have the most negative impact on world security and stability," Peskov told reporters, mentioning as well Russia’s support of the resumption of talks from the beginning.

"We have advocated from the very beginning that we need to start talking as soon as possible, but so far, you know, it is the United States that has not shown any interest de facto," Peskov said, adding that the respect of the interests of both sides should be taken into consideration.

Kremlin: Putin, Erdogan to Discuss Economy, Syria, Ukraine, Grain Deal at Sochi Talks

Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, intend to discuss Syria, Ukraine, and the implementation of the grain deal during a meeting in Sochi, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday, amid Erdogan’s planned working visit to Russia on Friday.

"Negotiations with the Turkish president will be devoted to issues of bilateral cooperation. This is the economy, the discussion of regional problems, this is Syria, this is Ukraine, and a good opportunity to coordinate stances on the effectiveness of this mechanism for the export of grain from Ukrainian ports, how effectively it works ... to exchange views on world affairs. The agenda, as we see, is very, very tense," Peskov informed reporters.

Russia Thankful For Invitation to APEC Summit - Kremlin

Thailand's Ambassador to Russia Sasivat Wongsinsawat also disclosed to Sputnik that Bangkok is looking forward to the participation of Russian President Vladimir Putin in the summit, adding that an official invitation will be sent soon.

"We will certainly receive this invitation with pleasure. Russia participates in the work of APEC and attaches great importance to this association. And, in fact, closer to the time of the event, we will decide on the format in which it would be most expedient to take part," Peskov told reporters.
