He said that 450 drones and over thirty rockets struck the country's power systems, labeling such attacks as "cynical and calculated" and against "essential services" as temperatures become colder.
Government representatives said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and repair crews were laboring to fix the damage.
A barrage of missiles struck energy infrastructure and apartment buildings in the capital.
Several of the people hurt in the strikes on the capital have been taken to hospital, as confirmed by local officials.
