"The necessity is not symbolic gestures but decisive action - from the United States, the EU and the Group of Seven - in delivering protection systems and applying sanctions," he wrote in a public message.

Officials stated that 450 drones and several dozen rockets struck the country's power systems, labeling such attacks as "strategic and deliberate" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as winter approaches.
