Moscow has escalated attacks on energy facilities over recent weeks, while the country's government has called for "real steps" from partner nations to increase pressure on Moscow.

Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and several dozen projectiles targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, labeling such strikes as "premeditated" and against "essential services" as winter approaches.
The energy minister said Moscow was "launching a major assault" and repair crews were working to restore power.
