Moscow has intensified attacks on power infrastructure over recent weeks, while officials has demanded "real steps" from allies to increase pressure on Moscow.

"What is required is not window dressing but firm measures - from the America, Europe and the major economies - in supplying defensive weapons and implementing restrictions," was stated in a online statement.

Authorities reported that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and several dozen rockets struck energy facilities, describing such strikes as "strategic and deliberate" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as temperatures become colder.

Government representatives said Moscow was "launching a major assault" and maintenance teams were striving to restore power.

A wave of strikes damaged power facilities and civilian homes in the capital.
