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.

Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby said that US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin spoke with his Ukrainian counterpart on Wednesday. 

"Just before coming out here, the Secretary wrapped up a phone call with the Ukrainian Defense Minister, Minister [Oleksii] Reznikov as one of his ongoing series of calls with counterparts," Kirby said. "The call really just concluded so I don’t have much context to provide for you there."

Earlier, White House spokesperson Jen Psaki revealed that Lloyd Austin, the US Secretary of Defense, Mark Milley, the Joint Chief of Staff Chairman, and other senior officials are consulting Ukraine and NATO members regarding Poland's proposal to send MiG-29 fighters to Kiev. 

Psaki said, "Secretary Austin, Chairman Milley and members of our defense department are in touch with Ukrainian counterparts NATO counterparts, discussing what are clearly logistical challenges here."
