BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Resistance is a source of power for Lebanon that must be preserved.
Sheikh Qassem: "Israel" must implement the agreement as Lebanon has already done so, and any new accord would amount to absolving it and opening the door to further attacks.
Sheikh Qassem: We do not wish to assume anyone's role; those accusing us of this must cease their accusations.
Sheikh Qassem: We will recover our lands through national solidarity; Resistance's goal is national liberation, while enemy goal is occupation.
Sheikh Qassem: Protection of sovereignty protects Lebanon. It is in real danger because of US belligerence, greedy Israeli expansion.
Qassem to Lebanese people: We are not asking for support but for us not to be stabbed in the back in the back or for some to serve Israeli interests; government is primary party responsible for [preservation of] sovereignty.
Sheikh Qassem: "Israel" can occupy, but it cannot persist in occupation of our land.
Sheikh Qassem: Intimidation will not change our stance of resistance and steadfastness. We are not advocates of surrender or defeat, and we will never accept it.
Sheikh Qassem: Where does US stand regarding enemy's unjustified assassination of a government worker and other civilian martyrs?
Sheikh Qassem: Is the Lebanese Army's defense of its land and citizens an accusation [leveled against it]? Where does US stand regarding the enemy's killing of civilians and constant destruction?

Ukraine's electricity transmission system operator, Ukrenergo, reported a 30% electricity deficit on Friday.

"As of 11:00 a.m. [9:00 a.m. GMT], electricity producers provided more than 70% of the country's consumption needs… However, there is still a shortage of electricity in the power system. Currently, this is 30% of the total consumption. In this regard, both planned and emergency load shedding schedules have been introduced in all regions of Ukraine," the energy operator wrote on its Telegram channel. 
 
The company also stated that private consumer reconnection was underway but was hampered by "icing and broken wires in distribution networks."
 
According to Ukraine's Ministry of Energy, Russian missile strikes have temporarily disconnected all nuclear power plants, as well as the majority of thermal and hydro-power stations, from the national power grid.

Kiev's military administration reported a 70% power deficit in the city.

"On November 15, Russia fired around 100 missiles at Ukrainian cities. Almost half of our energy infrastructure is out of order. Under these circumstances we surely need additional support from our European partners," Shmyhal said at a press conference.

Shmyhal further said Ukraine currently needs additional military equipment and financial aid to purchase gas and keep public operations ongoing. 

Ukrainian Energy Minister German Galushchenko said on Tuesday that Ukraine's energy grid sustained the most massive missile attack since the beginning of the conflict with Russia. 

Moreover, Ukrainian national energy company Ukrenergo revealed on November 14 that one of Ukraine's vital energy plants was severely damaged by Russian airstrikes.

"Last week, one of the key facilities of Ukrenergo was damaged. This affected the [energy] supply of a number of areas, the situation in which is still difficult," the company posted on Telegram.

The Ukrainian capital of Kiev, as well as a number of other regions throughout Ukraine, is experiencing a difficult situation with regard to energy supply, according to the company.
