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.

And still, the US claims the weapons it is pouring into Ukraine are not to be used against Russian regions.

The Lugansk People’s Republic’s (LPR) mission to the Joint Center for Control and Coordination on the ceasefire regime (JCCC) reported on Sunday that Ukrainian forces shelled the city of Alchevsk using US-supplied multiple rocket launcher HIMARS.

In a statement on Telegram, the LPR mission said, "Shelling was recorded from the side of the armed formations of Ukraine: 01:35 [22:35 GMT on Saturday] at Alchevsk, with the use of MLRS [Multiple Launch Rocket System] HIMARS (3 missiles)."

Earlier this morning, the LPR mission reported that four HIMARS missiles were fired by Ukrainian forces at Stakhanov in the Lugansk region at 07:20 local time (04:20 GMT).

So far, no reports of damages or casualties have been issued.

On October 28, the US approved a $275 million military assistance package for Ukraine, which includes HIMARS launchers, ammunition, and 155mm artillery rounds; two NASAMS (National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems) were also set to be delivered to Ukrainian soldiers once they complete their training on the systems.

On November 4, the US announced it will send another security assistance package worth $400 million to Ukraine.

“Some of the capabilities include funding to refurbish Hawk air defense missiles for inclusion in future presidential drawdown packages, 45 refurbished T-72 tanks with advanced optics, communications, and armor packages, 1,100 Phoenix Ghost tactical unmanned aerial systems, 40 armored Riverine boats, and funding to refurbish 250 M1117 armored security vehicles,” US Department of Defense Spokesperson Sabrina Singh said.

Recent updates reveal that the midterm elections in the US may have an influence on the supply of aid to Ukraine. 

A poll published by The Wall Street Journal showed that Republicans are less likely to pursue efforts in supporting Ukraine in its ongoing conflict with Russia. 

If Republicans win the elections, it is likely that support for Ukraine may be affected negatively.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.), who will likely be speaker if the GOP wins the majority, said last month that Congress will request greater accountability for the assistance funds delivered to Kiev.

Congressional sources told WSJ that lawmakers are considering plans to pass a multibillion-dollar aid package for Ukraine before year’s end as Democrats fear that a Republican-controlled Congress would be less supportive of such assistance.
