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.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Monday, "Russia is facing the Kiev regime. This is the regime that supports terrorist attacks, this is the regime that is behind the murder of Darya Dugina, this is the regime that quite possibly is behind the murder of Fomin (Tatarsky), and behind the terrorist attack in St. Petersburg, this is the regime that has been behind the murders of people for many years since 2014, which is why the special military operation is being carried out."

The Kremlin expressed its condolences to the relatives and friends of Tatarsky, and wish a speedy recovery to all those injured. The spokesperson also added that the investigation is still in an active phase and that "we should be patient and wait for the statements of our special services that are working on the case."

Russian investigations revealed Ukrainian involvement in the assassination of Darya Dugina in August last year.  

Commenting on the series of events ,Maria Zakharova, the spokesperson of the Russian Foreign Ministry said, "All of this is being silently ignored by specialized international agencies, which can no longer be interpreted as acquiescence if not complicity."
