Moscow has escalated attacks on electrical systems over recent weeks, while Ukrainian leadership has requested "substantial measures" from partner nations to apply pressure on Moscow.

A series of attacks struck energy infrastructure and apartment buildings in the capital.
Five out of the nine people injured in the assaults on the city have been transported for medical care, per statements from local officials.

National leaders told reporters that Moscow was intentionally trying to destroy the electrical infrastructure, with assaults already affecting energy systems.
Authorities confirmed technical personnel and officials were preparing for additional strikes.
