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.

US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said on Friday that a Russian invasion of Ukraine "could begin at any time" including during the Beijing Winter Olympics.

"We continue to see signs of Russian escalation including new forces arriving at the Ukrainian border," Sullivan told reporters at the White House.

"An invasion could begin at any time should Vladimir Putin decide to order it," he said. "It could begin during the Olympics despite a lot of speculation that it will only happen after the Olympics."

The United States believes there is a "very distinct possibility" Russia will invade Ukraine but does not know if Vladimir Putin has made a "final decision," Sullivan added.

"The way that he has built up his forces and put them in place... makes it clear to us that there's a very distinct possibility that Russia will choose to act militarily," he stressed.

Sullivan went on to say that "our view is that we do not believe he has made any kind of final decision, or we don't know that he has made any final decision."

The US National Security Advisor predicted that a potentially imminent Russian attack on Ukraine could begin with aerial bombing, urging Americans to leave the country in the next 24-48 hours.

He also expected that US President Joe Biden would call his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin.

"I would expect that President Biden will engage by telephone with President Putin, but I don't have anything to announce for you on that right now," Sullivan concluded.

Russia has repeatedly denied any intention to invade Ukraine while pointing to NATO's military activity as a threat to Russian national security.

Just a couple of days after 2,000 US troops land in Europe to "assist" Kiev against Russia, London has also pitched in, sending more than 100 of its special forces advisors to the Ukrainian capital to train and aid the Ukrainian military.
