During the night, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have resulted in electricity outages in extensive areas of the capital city, Kyiv.
Several individuals were injured while inhabitants in eastern neighborhoods were left without electricity and dealt with problems to drinking water, per reports from city officials.
At the same time, a minor was fatally injured in a separate assault in the Zaporizhzhia region in the country's south-east, as reported by area administrators.
Moscow has escalated attacks on electrical systems over the past few days, while Ukrainian leadership has demanded "substantial measures" from partner nations to increase pressure on Russia.
"What is required is not superficial actions but strong steps - from the America, Europe and the Group of Seven - in supplying air defence systems and implementing restrictions," he wrote in a social media post.
Officials stated that 450 drones and several dozen rockets targeted energy facilities, describing such assaults as "strategic and deliberate" and against "essential services" as temperatures become colder.
Energy officials said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and repair crews were striving to repair systems.
A wave of strikes hit energy infrastructure and residential structures in the capital.
Multiple people hurt in the strikes on the city have been taken to hospital, according to municipal representatives.
Local officials said the urban area endured heavy assaults during nighttime hours. A seven-year-old child lost their life and multiple civilians were wounded.
The strikes succeed periods of aerial attacks in the area, sections of which are currently controlled by Russian forces.
All of Ukraine is under warning for advanced weapon attacks, which are tougher to spot.
Government officials told reporters that Moscow was intentionally trying to destroy the country's energy grid, with strikes already disrupting energy systems.
Authorities confirmed technical personnel and officials were preparing for more assaults.
