Throughout the evening, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have caused blackouts in large parts of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were hurt while residents in eastern neighborhoods were plunged into darkness and faced interruptions to drinking water, as stated by municipal leaders.
Simultaneously, a seven-year-old child was killed in a separate Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia area in the southern area, based on information from local officials.
Moscow has escalated assaults on energy facilities over the last fortnight, while the country's government has called for "substantial measures" from international partners to apply pressure on Russia.
"What is required is not window dressing but decisive action - from the America, the EU and the major economies - in providing defensive weapons and applying sanctions," he wrote in a social media post.
Authorities reported that 450 drones and more than 30 rockets targeted the country's power systems, describing such strikes as "strategic and deliberate" and against "critical infrastructure" as temperatures become colder.
Energy officials said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were striving to fix the damage.
A wave of strikes damaged electrical systems and apartment buildings in the capital.
Multiple people hurt in the strikes on the city have been taken to hospital, as confirmed by local officials.
Local officials said the urban area experienced intense attacks throughout the evening. A seven-year-old child died and several individuals were hurt.
The strikes follow periods of aerial attacks in the territory, parts of which are currently controlled by invading troops.
The entire country is in a state of readiness for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are tougher to detect.
National leaders told journalists that Russia was purposely seeking to demolish the electrical infrastructure, with assaults already affecting energy systems.
Officials stated technical personnel and officials were anticipating further attacks.
