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.

The Russian Foreign Ministry on Tuesday announced that it summoned US Ambassador to Russia Lynne Tracy over the growing involvement of the United States in the fighting on the side of Ukraine.

In a statement, the Ministry said "a demarche was made to the head of the US diplomatic mission summoned to the Russian Foreign Ministry on February 21 in connection with the expanding involvement of the United States in hostilities on the side of the Kiev regime."

Tracy was told that Washington should withdraw all of its military and equipment from the territory of Ukraine, the statement indicated.

"It was particularly noted that in order to de-escalate the situation, Washington should take steps involving the withdrawal of US and NATO military and equipment, as well as the cessation of hostile anti-Russian activities," it said.

The Russian Ministry warned that all weapons supplied to Kiev, as well as the personnel, including US citizens, are a legitimate goal for Russian strikes.

This comes just one day after US President Joe Biden visited Kiev for the first time since the break out of the war, where he met with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky and vowed further arms.

The Pentagon announced Monday that the Biden administration was providing a new security package to Ukraine amounting to $460 million.

Moreover, the Pentagon said its latest package would include more ammunition for US-made equipment that already made it to Ukraine, as well as new equipment units.

Last week, Dafna Rand, the director of the Office of Foreign Assistance at the State Department, said the US expects to provide an additional $9.9 billion in budget support to Ukraine.

"The US has provided $13 billion in budget support to the Government of Ukraine, and working with Congress in the coming months, we plan on providing $9.9 billion," Rand told a press briefing.

Elsewhere, the Russian Foreign Ministry considered that Washington should not interfere with the investigation into the blasts at the Nord Stream pipelines.

"Russia emphasized that the United States should give explanations about the explosions on the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines and not interfere with an impartial investigation to identify those responsible," the statement said.
