Moscow has increased strikes on energy facilities over recent weeks, while the country's government has requested "substantial measures" from partner nations to apply pressure on Moscow.

Authorities reported that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and over thirty projectiles struck the country's power systems, describing such assaults as "strategic and deliberate" and against "critical infrastructure" as winter approaches.
