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.

With regard to the Syrian issue, the Venezuelan president said that Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad is "a brave man, a hero and a fighter, and he has a beautiful family and wonderful people," adding that "(Syria) was destined to endure a criminal terrorist war."

As for Iran, Maduro expressed his admiration for the Iranian leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, describing him as a man of great wisdom and great intelligence.

He pointed out that the former Quds Force commander, the martyr Qassem Soleimani, "was a smiley, optimistic man, and I thank God forever meeting him," noting that "Soleimani combated terrorism and the brutal terrorist criminals who attacked the peoples of the Axis of resistance. He was a brave man." 

Al Mayadeen network had chosen the Venezuelan president to be the "International Person of the Year" for 2019, against the background of his stances towards his country and its foreign policies, but it was not possible to hand him the award due to the Coronavirus epidemic.
