"What is required is not superficial actions but decisive action - from the America, European nations and the major economies - in providing defensive weapons and enforcing restrictions," was stated in a social media post.
Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and several dozen missiles targeted the country's power systems, describing such attacks as "cynical and calculated" and against "critical infrastructure" as winter approaches.
Energy officials said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were working to repair systems.

Five out of the nine people injured in the attacks on the capital have been transported for medical care, as confirmed by local officials.
