Zelensky:

Zelensky: The Ukrainian people are grateful to the Polish people who helped us. We are grateful. But we cannot live from "thank you" to "thank you." We live from attack to attack. We cannot wake up every morning and think: "Don't forget to thank everyone today." People are dying. Can we protect all of you in between expressions of gratitude?

Zelensky: Yesterday we responded by striking their oil refinery in the Tyumen region. If we're speaking directly, the distance was about 2,070 kilometers. Our new drones successfully hit their target. Their actual flight route was around 2,500 kilometers. They will be able to fly 3,000 kilometers and beyond. These are new drones—good drones. They will reach distances of more than 3,000 kilometers because we understand where all their military factories are located, where their oil bases are,

Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa on Lebanon:

Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa on Lebanon: We have enough courage that if we wanted to enter a conflict or a war, we would say so openly. We intend nothing but good for our people in Lebanon, and we wish them nothing but a happy life. Syria’s role is a purely positive one, defined by Lebanese and Syrian interests over the coming years.

Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa on Lebanon:

Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa on Lebanon: I believe that the Shiite community today is in greater need than ever of a rescue effort within the Lebanese situation, and together with it we must rescue Lebanon. God knows that I care deeply about this issue, because the loss of any component of Lebanon is a loss for the entire region. I do not subscribe to the idea that all Shiites in Lebanon are Hezbollah, nor that Hezbollah represents all Shiites in Lebanon.

Historically, Beirut has been the maritime gateway of Damascus, and Tripoli has been the maritime gateway of Homs. Syria is now becoming a strategic regional and international hub linking East and West. The Mediterranean coast has become extremely important for trade, supply chains, and logistics, and Lebanon should benefit from this reality. We have already tried the military path and wi
