BREAKING
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.

Russia's President and Germany's Chancellor spoke over the telephone on Friday, with President Putin declaring that the main danger in Moscow comes from neo-Nazi military formations, according to a Kremlin statement.

"It was emphasized that the main danger comes from neo-Nazi military units that commit numerous war crimes, using terrorist methods, deploying strike weapons in residential areas, cynically hiding behind the civilian population." The statement further added that the Ukrainian government is not fulfilling its promises "to stop this barbarism", with such cases increasing. 

Putin also warned Germany's Chancellor Olaf Scholz of the growing number of foreign mercenaries operating in Ukraine, including those coming from Albania and Croatia and namely militants and Jihadists coming from Kosovo in order to put their experience from military operations in Syria to use.

Russia's President further stressed that Ukraine has to comply with the requirements of its "nuclear-free status", with demilitarization, denazification, the recognition of Crimea, and the LPR and DPR, and called on Scholz to influence Kiev authorities to ensure "a speedy release and safe evacuation of foreigners."

He also told Scholz that the West is ignoring humanitarian law violations by Ukraine, like over 6,000 foreign nationals being essentially held hostage, with people unable to leave areas controlled by Ukrainian forces, with one incident highlighted in which neo-Nazis shot at a foreign student dorm in the city of Sumy.

Putin told his counterpart that the "collective West" prefers to "ignore the aforementioned violations of international humanitarian law," the Kremlin's statement said.

Scholz: Germany will not be part of military confrontation in Ukraine

Scholz stated on Friday that Germany is not a participant in the armed crisis in Ukraine and would not become one.

Deputy Spokesperson of the Federal Government Wolfgang Buchner announced Friday that NATO and Germany will not interfere in Ukraine, adding that "it is absolutely clear. NATO and thus Germany will not interfere in this war."
