Moscow has escalated attacks on energy facilities over recent weeks, while the country's government has called for "substantial measures" from partner nations to exert influence on Russia.

The energy minister said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and repair crews were working to repair systems.
A series of attacks struck electrical systems and apartment buildings in Kyiv.
Several of the people wounded in the assaults on the city have been transported for medical care, according to local officials.
Local officials said the city endured significant strikes throughout the evening. A young boy lost their life and several individuals were injured.
The attacks follow periods of air raids in the territory, parts of which are currently controlled by Russian forces.

Government officials told the media that Russia was intentionally trying to destroy the national power system, with strikes already disrupting gas facilities.
Officials stated technical personnel and authorities were preparing for additional strikes.
