Moscow has increased attacks on energy facilities over recent weeks, while the country's government has called for "concrete actions" from partner nations to increase pressure on Russia.
"What's needed is not superficial actions but decisive action - from the America, Europe and the Group of Seven - in providing protection systems and applying restrictions," mentioned in a social media post.
Authorities reported that numerous aerial vehicles and several dozen missiles targeted energy facilities, characterizing such assaults as "strategic and deliberate" and against "critical infrastructure" as winter approaches.
Energy officials said Russia was "launching a major assault" and technical staff were laboring to repair systems.
A series of attacks hit energy infrastructure and civilian homes in Kyiv.
Multiple people injured in the assaults on the capital have been hospitalized, as confirmed by city authorities.

The attacks follow nights of air raids in the territory, sections of which are currently controlled by Russian forces.
The whole nation is on alert for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are tougher to detect.
Government officials told the media that Moscow was deliberately attempting to demolish the electrical infrastructure, with strikes already disrupting gas facilities.
