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.

    Luhansk revealed that mercenaries are arriving in southeastern Ukraine disguised as military instructors.

A military spokesperson of the self-proclaimed Luhansk People's Republic (LPR), Ivan Filiponenko, revealed Tuesday that the Ukrainian special services are preparing a "staged terrorist attack" with civilian casualties at one of the facilities in the Kharkiv, Donetsk, or Luhansk regions.

"The undercover intelligence of the People's Militia of the LPR received data about the preparation of a staged high-profile terrorist act with numerous casualties among the civilian population at one of the industrial or social facilities in Kharkov, Luhansk or Donetsk regions by the Ukrainian special services," Filiponenko told reporters.

Mercenaries in Ukraine disguised as foreign military instructors

A few days ago, Luhansk People's Republic (LPR) Head, Leonid Pasechnik, revealed that mercenaries are arriving in southeastern Ukraine disguised as military instructors.

"This is not a secret at all, it is official data that hundreds of foreign instructors from NATO countries are on a rotational basis on the territory of Ukraine... In addition, outright mercenaries also arrive in Ukraine under the guise of instructors," Pasechnik pointed out.

He added that when Western countries say they're sending 200 instructors to Kiev along with equipment and weapons in order to help "train" Ukraine's soldiers, it is likely these trainers are "narrow specialists from military companies" who may use these weapons on the front in Donbas.

Pasechnik added that since 2015, the CIA has been training specialists to organize a guerrilla movement in Ukraine.

He further revealed that the CIA trains these Ukrainians at military bases for organizing underground movements, maintaining conspiracies, recruitment, conducting sabotage operations, and using non-military means as weapons.

For its part, the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic said it observed some 120,000 Ukrainian troops near the line of contact in Donbas, eastern Ukraine.

The Donetsk People's Republic has denied allegations that it is preparing an offensive of any sort.

The Ukrainian military buildup comes as Ukraine and the West accuse Russia of its own military buildup on its borders with Ukraine.

Russia insists that it has no intention of attacking any country, seeing the Western accusations as a pretext to deploy more NATO military equipment close to Russia's borders.
