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.

Russian lawmaker Sergei Tsekov said, according to Sputnik, that the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) will not be able to exclude Russia from the Parliamentary Assembly, but Western countries and Ukraine will continue to attempt.

According to the Ukrainian news agency UNIAN, a member of the Ukrainian delegation, Yevheniia Kravchuk, said that Kiev has chosen to boycott the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly until it excludes Moscow.

"They do not have capacities to exclude Russia, but they will look for them," Tsekov said.

Ukraine is attempting to exert pressure on the European Union in this area, according to the MP, who added that Kiev's ideas regarding Moscow "have always been hostile." 

He also charged Ukraine's political establishment with undermining international platforms.

Earlier in November, Vladimir Dzhabarov, deputy leader of the Russian delegation to the OSCE, stated that Russian parliamentarians had been denied visas to attend the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly's fall session in Warsaw from November 24-26. 

The Polish Foreign Ministry later confirmed the information. Meanwhile, Nat Parry, the head of the OSCE Communications and Press Office, said as quoted by RIA Novosti that the decision to invite the Russian delegation, whose members are sanctioned by the EU, was made at the national level by Polish authorities.

After February 24, Western countries exerted strained efforts to isolate Russia. They launched a comprehensive sanctions campaign against Moscow and pressured the international community to bar Russian officials and nationals from participating in various events.
