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.

The New York Times reported on Saturday, citing a defense source, that about 400 Ukrainian troops in Germany began training on how to maneuver US-made M1 Abrams tanks.

On Friday, about 200 Ukrainian troops began instruction for combined arms at training locations in Grafenwoehr and Hohenfels.

Another 200 reportedly began instruction on tank refueling and maintenance, a defense source told the newspapers.

In recent months, Western countries have been boosting military support for Kiev through the provisions of more advanced and lethal weapons systems. 

For instance, the UK supplied Kiev with depleted uranium ammo, weapons known to result in increased cancer rates and birth defects in targeted areas. 

Last week, the White House greenlighted the decision for itself and its Western partners to supply Kiev with US-made F16 jets, but that decision has been met with some reluctance in part of Germany and Portugal.

The two countries said they would not supply the aircraft to Kiev, but they would assist Ukrainian troops through other means.

Earlier in the day, Ukraine requested that Germany provide it with Taurus air-to-surface missiles, the German Defense Ministry reported.
