Overnight, Russian missile and drone strikes have caused blackouts in extensive areas of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
A number of civilians were injured while residents in the city's east were plunged into darkness and encountered disruption to water supplies, as stated by city officials.
At the same time, a young boy was killed in a distinct aerial attack in the Zaporizhzhia region in the country's south-east, based on information from local officials.
Moscow has increased assaults on power infrastructure over recent weeks, while the country's government has requested "real steps" from allies to apply pressure on Moscow.
"The necessity is not symbolic gestures but firm measures - from the United States, European nations and the G7 - in supplying protection systems and implementing sanctions," he wrote in a social media post.
Authorities reported that 450 drones and several dozen missiles targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, describing such attacks as "strategic and deliberate" and against "essential services" as temperatures become colder.
The energy minister said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and maintenance teams were laboring to repair systems.
A series of attacks hit power facilities and residential structures in the capital.
Several of the people injured in the attacks on the city have been taken to hospital, according to municipal representatives.
Regional authorities said the city endured intense attacks overnight. A minor died and multiple civilians were injured.
The attacks come after evenings of air raids in the territory, portions of which are currently controlled by Russian forces.
The entire country is under warning for advanced weapon attacks, which are more difficult to spot.
Government officials told reporters that Moscow was purposely seeking to damage the electrical infrastructure, with assaults already disrupting gas facilities.
Authorities confirmed energy workers and authorities were preparing for further attacks.
