"The necessity is not superficial actions but strong steps - from the America, European nations and the G7 - in supplying air defence systems and enforcing restrictions," was stated in a online statement.
Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and several dozen rockets attacked Ukraine's energy infrastructure, characterizing such attacks as "cynical and calculated" and against "essential services" as the weather cools.
The energy minister said Russia was "launching a major assault" and repair crews were working to restore power.
A series of attacks hit power facilities and apartment buildings in Kyiv.
Several of the people injured in the assaults on the city have been transported for medical care, according to city authorities.
Regional authorities said the urban area endured intense attacks throughout the evening. A minor was killed and multiple civilians were wounded.
The assaults follow evenings of air raids in the area, parts of which are occupied by Russian forces.

Authorities told reporters that Russia was deliberately attempting to destroy the electrical infrastructure, with attacks already disrupting fuel infrastructure.
