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.

Namibia is facing a spike in fertilizer prices, which is driving up food prices in Africa, and would welcome a fertilizer donation from Russia, ambassador Clemens Handuukeme Kashuupulwa said, as quoted by Sputnik.

"Namibia is faced with the challenge of the high cost of crop production inputs, including fertilizer. If extended to Namibia, the Russian offer to transport fertilizer for free would go a long way in mitigating this challenge," the ambassador said.

Food and fertilizer prices rose when the US and Europe restricted Russian grain and fertilizer exporters' access to ports, insurance, and finance, but stopped short of boycotting Russian exports entirely.

According to the Namibian envoy, Russian fertilizer export limitations to Africa have increased the cost of fertilizers in Namibia by more than 50%, "ultimately raising the cost of production and, consequently, the high cost of food."

He suggested that the southern African country, which has enormous swaths of productive farming area, could collaborate with Russia on grain production. A donation of fertilizers would boost its national food security and self-sufficiency, as per the ambassador.

It is worth noting that Russian President Vladimir Putin has lately announced that Russia is ready to export potash fertilizers to developing countries free of charge.

Russia alone in 2021 was the leading exporter of nitrogen fertilizers, the second major supplier of potassium fertilizers, and the third-largest supplier of phosphorous fertilizers.
