"What's needed is not window dressing but decisive action - from the America, European nations and the major economies - in supplying air defence systems and enforcing penalties," mentioned in a online statement.
Authorities reported that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and over thirty rockets attacked Ukraine's energy infrastructure, labeling such attacks as "cynical and calculated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as temperatures become colder.

A series of attacks damaged energy infrastructure and civilian homes in Kyiv.
Multiple people hurt in the attacks on the city have been transported for medical care, per statements from local officials.
Regional authorities said the metropolitan region endured significant strikes overnight. A young boy was killed and several individuals were injured.
The attacks succeed nights of air raids in the area, sections of which are currently controlled by invading troops.
The whole nation is on alert for advanced weapon attacks, which are tougher to identify.
Authorities told reporters that Moscow was deliberately attempting to destroy the national power system, with attacks already impacting energy systems.
Authorities confirmed utility staff and government agencies were preparing for further attacks.
