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.

Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov announced Wednesday that the cabinet had made "Personnel changes in the Ministry of Defense" and appointed three new deputy defense ministers.

"Rebooting the Ministry and implementing qualitative changes that will be notable by our soldiers," Umerov said adding that "the Government approved three deputies: Yurii Dzhygyr — deputy for finance ... Nataliia Kalmykova — deputy for social development ... Kateryna Chernogorenko — deputy for digital development."

According to the minister, the appointees are tasked, above all else, with matters addressing Ukrainian "soldiers, their life, health and dignity," adding that the "most important task is to ensure respect for the dignity of soldiers in all interactions with the state."

Earlier, on September 18, the Ukrainian cabinet of ministers dismissed all deputy defense ministers, including Hanna Maliar, who previously reported the supposed capture of Andriivka in the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) by Ukrainian military forces, according to lawmaker Oleksiy Goncharenko on Monday.

Maliar attributed her unverified statement about Ukrainian troops gaining control of Andriivka in the DPR last week to a communication error.

"The cabinet of ministers has just fired all the deputy ministers of defense and the ministry’s secretary of state. Maliar was also fired," Goncharenko wrote on Telegram.

This comes after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov had been sacked from his position on September 3.

Zelensky had announced that Reznikov would be replaced as he believes the ministry "needs new approaches and other formats of interaction with both the military and society as a whole."
