"What is required is not window dressing but firm measures - from the United States, Europe and the G7 - in delivering air defence systems and enforcing restrictions," mentioned in a social media post.
Officials stated that numerous aerial vehicles and over thirty missiles targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, characterizing such strikes as "strategic and deliberate" and against "essential services" as the weather cools.
The energy minister said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and technical staff were striving to repair systems.
A wave of strikes hit power facilities and residential structures in the capital.
Multiple people wounded in the attacks on the capital have been transported for medical care, according to municipal representatives.
Regional authorities said the city endured intense attacks throughout the evening. A minor died and several individuals were injured.
