"The necessity is not window dressing but strong steps - from the America, European nations and the Group of Seven - in delivering protection systems and enforcing restrictions," was stated in a public message.
Authorities reported that 450 drones and more than 30 missiles targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, labeling such attacks as "premeditated" and against "essential services" as winter approaches.
Energy officials said Moscow was "launching a major assault" and repair crews were laboring to restore power.
A barrage of missiles hit power facilities and civilian homes in the capital.

Local officials said the city endured heavy assaults throughout the evening. A young boy lost their life and several individuals were injured.
The strikes come after evenings of air raids in the area, parts of which remain under the control of Russian forces.
All of Ukraine is in a state of readiness for advanced weapon attacks, which are more difficult to identify.
National leaders told journalists that Moscow was intentionally trying to demolish the electrical infrastructure, with assaults already affecting energy systems.
Authorities confirmed utility staff and officials were preparing for more assaults.
