Overnight, Russian aerial assaults have caused electricity outages in extensive areas of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
A number of civilians were injured while local people in eastern districts were left without electricity and dealt with problems to drinking water, according to city officials.
Simultaneously, a seven-year-old child was fatally injured in a separate assault in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southeastern part, according to area administrators.
Moscow has intensified strikes on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while the country's government has requested "substantial measures" from allies to apply pressure on Russia.
"The necessity is not symbolic gestures but firm measures - from the United States, European nations and the Group of Seven - in supplying air defence systems and implementing penalties," he wrote in a social media post.
Officials stated that numerous aerial vehicles and several dozen projectiles struck Ukraine's energy infrastructure, labeling such assaults as "cynical and calculated" and against "critical infrastructure" as the weather cools.
Energy officials said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and repair crews were working to fix the damage.
A wave of strikes struck energy infrastructure and civilian homes in Kyiv.
Multiple people hurt in the assaults on the city have been hospitalized, as confirmed by city authorities.
Regional authorities said the metropolitan region experienced significant strikes during nighttime hours. A young boy died and several individuals were hurt.
The assaults succeed periods of aerial attacks in the territory, parts of which remain under the control of Russian forces.
All of Ukraine is on alert for advanced weapon attacks, which are tougher to detect.
Authorities told the media that Russia was purposely seeking to destroy the electrical infrastructure, with strikes already affecting energy systems.
Officials stated technical personnel and government agencies were bracing for more assaults.
