Moscow has increased strikes on electrical systems over the last fortnight, while Ukrainian leadership has requested "substantial measures" from allies to increase pressure on Russia.
"What's needed is not superficial actions but strong steps - from the America, the EU and the major economies - in delivering defensive weapons and implementing restrictions," was stated in a public message.
Authorities reported that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and more than 30 missiles struck the country's power systems, labeling such strikes as "cynical and calculated" and against "critical infrastructure" as winter approaches.
Energy officials said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and repair crews were striving to repair systems.
