"What is required is not superficial actions but firm measures - from the America, Europe and the Group of Seven - in providing air defence systems and applying penalties," he wrote in a social media post.
Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and several dozen missiles targeted energy facilities, describing such assaults as "premeditated" and against "critical infrastructure" as temperatures become colder.
Government representatives said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and repair crews were striving to fix the damage.
