Russian forces has increased assaults on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while Ukrainian leadership has requested "real steps" from allies to exert influence on Russia.
"What is required is not symbolic gestures but strong steps - from the US, the EU and the Group of Seven - in supplying protection systems and enforcing restrictions," he wrote in a social media post.
Authorities reported that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and more than 30 missiles struck energy facilities, characterizing such strikes as "cynical and calculated" and against "essential services" as temperatures become colder.
Government representatives said Moscow was "launching a major assault" and technical staff were laboring to repair systems.
A series of attacks struck energy infrastructure and civilian homes in the capital.

The assaults follow nights of air raids in the area, sections of which are currently controlled by Russian forces.

Authorities told reporters that Moscow was deliberately attempting to destroy the national power system, with assaults already disrupting gas facilities.
Officials stated utility staff and government agencies were anticipating more assaults.
