"What is required is not window dressing but strong steps - from the America, Europe and the major economies - in delivering air defence systems and applying restrictions," he wrote in a social media post.

Officials stated that 450 drones and several dozen projectiles targeted energy facilities, describing such assaults as "strategic and deliberate" and against "essential services" as winter approaches.

The energy minister said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and maintenance teams were working to fix the damage.
