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.

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said, on Friday, that Moscow would not end its military campaign in Ukraine even if Kiev formally renounced its NATO ambitions.

Medvedev, now the deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, also stated on French television that Russia was willing to hold talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky under certain conditions.

Even before Russia’s military operation in Ukraine, Moscow clearly stated that Ukrainian membership in NATO was unacceptable.

"Renouncing its participation in the North Atlantic alliance is now vital, but it is already insufficient in order to establish peace," Medvedev said as quoted by LCI television.

He stated that Russia would continue the campaign until its objectives were met. It is worth noting that the Russian President has constantly stated Moscow’s plan to "denazify" Ukraine. 

After February 24, Russia held several rounds of talks with Ukraine to end the war, however, no progress was made.

"This (talks) will depend on how events unfold. We were ready before to meet (Zelenskiy)," Medvedev said.

Elsewhere in his remarks, he said US lethal weapons already supplied to Ukraine, such as HIMARS multiple-rocket launchers, do not yet pose a significant threat.

That could change, he says, if US-supplied weapons can hit targets at greater distances.

"It means that when this sort of missile flies 70 km, that is one thing," he added. "But when it's 300-400 km, that is another, now that would be a threat directly to the territory of the Russian Federation."
