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.

  • Ukraine must get long-term support: NATO chief
    NATO Security-General Jens Stoltenberg. 

Western nations must be ready to support Ukraine over the long term as long as Russia doesn't show any signs of giving up, NATO's Security-General Jens Stoltenberg said.

Stoltenberg revealed to the BBC that military support would ensure the survival of Ukraine and force Russia to "sit down and negotiate an end to the war."

On the other hand, Russian President Vladimir Putin accused the West of using Ukraine to destroy his country.

Stoltenberg told Radio 4's World at One program that Russia's partial mobilization program, ordered in September, showed Moscow had "no desire to end the war at present." 

"The Ukrainian forces had the momentum for several months, but we also know that Russia has mobilized many more forces, many of them are now training," he said, adding that everything indicates that Russia is prepared to continue the war.

Putin: Historical truth on the side of Russia

Earlier, Putin said on December 31 that the past year was a year of pivotal events, laying the foundation for the future and the independence that Russia is fighting for, to protect its people in its historical territories.

"This has been a year of truly fateful events; they have become the frontier that lays the foundation for our common future, our true independence. This is what we are fighting for today, protecting our people in our own historical territories in the new regions of the Russian Federation, building and creating together," Putin indicated in his New Year's address to Russians.

The Russian President assured Russians that the "historical" truth is on the side of Moscow.

Elsewhere in his remarks, the Russian President considered that the West is using the people of Ukraine to divide and weaken Russia, stressing that this will never happen.

"[Western countries] are cynically using Ukraine and its people to weaken and split Russia. We have never allowed and will not allow anyone to do this," Putin said in his New Year's address.
