Moscow has intensified assaults on power infrastructure over the past few days, while the country's government has requested "real steps" from partner nations to exert influence on Russia.

Officials stated that 450 drones and over thirty missiles struck Ukraine's energy infrastructure, characterizing such assaults as "cynical and calculated" and against "essential services" as the weather cools.
