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.

Russia's Investigative Committee told Sputnik on Tuesday that Daria Trepova, the woman responsible for the murder of Russian military correspondent Vladlen Tatarsky, received terrorism charges from the Moscow Basmanny Court. 

Trepova orchestrated a terror attack against Vladlen Tatarsky, also known as Maxim Fomin, on Sunday as he was hosting an event at a cafe in St. Petersburg. 

During the event, a statue containing 200 grams of TNT was gifted to Tatarsky by Trepova. 

When the bomb went off, Tatarsky was instantly killed, and 32 people who were present at the event were also injured. 

On Monday, Russia's Investigative Committee said that Daria Trepova was arrested on suspicion of involvement in the explosion.

Russia's National Anti-Terrorism Committee stated that the special services of Ukraine and the supporters of the Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK, a designated extremist organization and foreign agent, banned in Russia) were behind the operation.

"Daria Trepova has been charged. She is charged with committing a crime under paragraph 'b' of Part 3 of Article 205 of the Russian Criminal Code, Part 4 of Article 222.1 (a terrorist act committed by an organized group that caused intentional death to a person; illegal carrying of explosive devices committed by an organized group)," Russia's Investigative Committee said.

Vladlen Tatarsky’s actual name was Maxim Yurevich Fomin. He took the pseudonym “Vladlen Tararsky in honor of Vavilen Tatarsky who was the hero in Viktor Pelevin’s novel “Generation P”. He was born on 25 April 1982 in the city of Makeevka. He was also a close friend of journalist Darya Dugina who was assassinated by Kiev's forces in August last year. 

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Monday, "Russia is facing the Kiev regime. This is the regime that supports terrorist attacks, this is the regime that is behind the murder of Darya Dugina, this is the regime that quite possibly is behind the murder of Fomin (Tatarsky), and behind the terrorist attack in St. Petersburg, this is the regime that has been behind the murders of people for many years since 2014, which is why the special military operation is being carried out."

The Kremlin expressed its condolences to the relatives and friends of Tatarsky, and wish a speedy recovery to all those injured. The spokesperson also added that the investigation is still in an active phase and that "we should be patient and wait for the statements of our special services that are working on the case."
