NEW: Syrian Army, under the new Syrian Ministry of Defense, has established control over Latakia, Tartous, Baniyas, Jableh, and Qardaha following attempts to destabilize security by remnants of the former Assad regime, sectarian militias, and individuals seeking to incite chaos.

Military and security operations continue in the coastal countryside and mountainous areas to ensure the security and stability of a free Syria.

French Mirage 2000 fighter jets, delivered to Ukraine a month ago, were used for the first time last night to repel a Russian attack, Ukrainian Air Force says.

In addition to the French jets, American F-16s were also deployed.

Syrian Army's drone operators take an active role in the clashes against the remnants of the former Assad regime.

Turkish President Erdogan on Russia-Ukraine war:

Türkiye supports the idea of an immediate ceasefire, cessation of attacks in air and at sea as confidence-building measure between parties.

Turkish President Erdogan:

We believe there is no justification for excluding us from EU's defense products procurement and reconstruction programs.

Turkish President Erdogan on the EU:

We maintain our goal of full membership. We expect the EU to adopt a strategic and visionary approach and to revitalize our membership negotiations.

Turkish Foreign Ministry:

Intensive efforts are underway to establish security and stability in Syria. At this critical juncture, the tension in and around Latakia, as well as the targeting of security forces could undermine the efforts to lead Syria into the future in unity and solidarity.

Such provocations must not be allowed to become a threat to peace in Syria and the region.

We stand against any action that targets the right of Syrians to live in peace and prosperity. Türkiye remains steadfast in its support for the Syrian people and government.

New era: Ukrainian naval drones deployed FPV drones to destroy Russian Strela-10 and Osa-AKM air defense systems deep behind enemy lines.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi:

It is Japan's duty to prevent the revival of militarism.

For Trump, America is a great power that Russia wouldn’t dare attack, and Ukraine is a pawn that can be sacrificed, according to an opinion piece in The New York Times.

"But here’s the thing about great powers: They all decline eventually. Neanderthal realism doesn’t save them.

After Athens sacked Melos, word of its brutality spread. Its allies turned against it. Athens lost the war. Noble ideas, it turns out, do matter."

Trump's Ukraine envoy Kellogg:

Trump promised to end the war in 24 hours. We didn't say what day.

Trump:

I prefer deal with Iran, I sent letter to Khamenei.

Iran can’t have nukes, other options on table.
