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.

    Peskov: Ukraine must recognize Crimea, DPR & LPR

After the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics (DPR and LPR) requested assistance in defending themselves against Ukrainian forces, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine on February 24.

Russia will finish the demilitarization of Ukraine, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in an interview with Reuters.
 
"We really are finishing the demilitarization of Ukraine. We will finish it. But the main thing is that Ukraine ceases its military activity. They should stop their military action and then no one will shoot," he said.
 
According to Peskov, Russia has no plans to make any new territorial claims in Ukraine.
 
"They should make amendments to their constitution according to which Ukraine would reject any aims to enter any bloc. We have also spoken about how they should recognize that Crimea is Russian territory and that they need to recognize that Donetsk and Lugansk are independent states. And that’s it. It will stop in a moment," Peskov added.

After the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics (DPR and LPR) requested assistance in defending themselves against Ukrainian forces, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine on the 24th of February.

"The protection of individuals who have been subjected to bullying and atrocities by the Kiev dictatorship for eight years," Vladimir Putin said.

According to him, the "demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine" would be carried out to bring all war criminals guilty of "bloody crimes against civilians" in Donbass to justice.

Before that, on February 21, after an unusually large meeting of the Russian Federation's Security Council, Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed Russian citizens, saying that he believed it was imperative to resolve to recognize the LPR and DPR's sovereignty immediately.
