Moscow has increased attacks on power infrastructure over recent weeks, while Ukrainian leadership has called for "substantial measures" from international partners to exert influence on Moscow.

"What is required is not symbolic gestures but decisive action - from the US, European nations and the Group of Seven - in supplying air defence systems and applying penalties," was stated in a public message.

Officials stated that numerous aerial vehicles and more than 30 projectiles targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, describing such attacks as "cynical and calculated" and against "critical infrastructure" as the weather cools.

Energy officials said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and technical staff were laboring to fix the damage.
