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.

Amid the war in Ukraine and the West's sanctions campaign against Russia, the United States is pushing Latin American countries into joining anti-Russia sanctions via threats, according to the Russian Ambassador to the United States, Anatoly Antonov.

After the start of the war in Ukraine, US Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs Brian Nichols said the US was expecting nations in Latin America to respect sanctions against Russian financial institutions and state-linked companies.

Antonov wrote on the Russian embassy Telegram page that there seems to be growing irritation in the US Department of State over the position taken up by these nations in refusal to join the "sanctions 'crusade' against Russia", and their independent vision of the Ukrainian crisis.

"The aim of such statements is clear: to intimidate its partners via secondary restrictions for non-compliance with the anti-Russian campaign," the ambassador said.

The US, according to Antonov, isn't concerned over the damage such sanctions might have on the development of Latin American nations, their food security and social stability.

Earlier this month, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro described the unilateral sanctions imposed on Russia as a crime against the Russian people, and "madness."

"Look what they [West] are doing with Russia: this is a crime against the Russian people, an economic war. They [Russia] are excluded from the SWIFT system, the airspace for them is closed, all the trading ties are suspended, the access to US dollar is banned. This is madness what they [West] are doing with Russia," Maduro said.
