"What is required is not superficial actions but firm measures - from the US, European nations and the G7 - in providing protection systems and enforcing restrictions," was stated in a social media post.
Authorities reported that 450 drones and over thirty projectiles targeted energy facilities, describing such attacks as "premeditated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as the weather cools.
The energy minister said Russia was "launching a major assault" and maintenance teams were working to repair systems.
A wave of strikes struck energy infrastructure and apartment buildings in Kyiv.

Regional authorities said the metropolitan region endured intense attacks overnight. A seven-year-old child was killed and multiple civilians were injured.
The assaults follow nights of air raids in the region, parts of which remain under the control of invading troops.

National leaders told the media that Moscow was intentionally trying to damage the national power system, with strikes already disrupting energy systems.
Officials stated technical personnel and authorities were anticipating additional strikes.
