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.

The Ukrainian President has received a seemingly endless wave of financial and moral support from Europe since the start of the war.

How has he decided to repay them? By only importing gas and coal into his country and exporting none to neighboring countries. Not only that, but Ukraine also halts Russian gas exports to Europe at the eastern transit point, despite the high dependence of these countries on the gas.

Zelensky stated in a video message on Tuesday night that the Ukrainian government had deliberations and decided to create a task force in charge of preparing for the next heating season.

He was quoted by the Ukrainian news website Strana.ua as saying, "We will not be selling gas and coal abroad."

Yuriy Vitrenko, CEO of Ukraine's national energy business Naftogaz, stated on Tuesday that the European Union may reduce its reliance on Russian energy by buying from Ukraine, notably by substituting up to 10 billion cubic meters of Russian gas with Ukrainian electricity.

The EU unveiled its sixth package of sanctions on Moscow on June 3, including a slow phase-out of Russian oil. The new package will only affect oil supplies by sea; oil delivered via pipelines will be unaffected. The seventh package, according to Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Pawel Jablonski, is already in the works, and the EU hopes to target Russian gas.

According to International Energy Agency figures, Europe purchased around 155 billion cubic meters of Russian gas in 2021, accounting for 45% of total European gas imports.
