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.

"Mr. Sullivan welcomed the announcement yesterday that Turkey and Armenia will appoint special envoys to discuss the normalization process," National Security Council Spokesperson Emily Horne said Wednesday.

Cavusoglu also added that charter flights with Yerevan would also be opened.

Russia

Moscow has also announced its readiness to help in the normalization of relations between the two countries, according to Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova.

"We proceed from the fact that the normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations would contribute to the improvement of the general situation in the region, would help to form a healthy atmosphere of trust and good-neighborliness," Zakharova said at a briefing, announcing Russia's readiness to help in the process.

Ankara-Yerevan flights

Turkey is now considering the requests of Turkish and Armenian airlines on the launching of flights from Istanbul to Yerevan and vice versa, with the decision expected to be made in the coming days, according to Turkey's foreign minister.

"Airlines' applications are reviewed by the Ministry of Transport and the General Directorate of Civil Aviation of Turkey. In principle, the attitude of the Turkish side to the issue is positive. In the coming days, it will be determined which of the companies will be able to fly this route," Anadolu Agency quoted Cavusoglu as saying.
