Overnight, Russian missile and drone strikes have caused electricity outages in large parts of the capital city, Kyiv.
Nine people were wounded while inhabitants in eastern neighborhoods were experienced blackouts and faced problems to drinking water, as stated by municipal leaders.
At the same time, a minor was fatally injured in a different aerial attack in the southeastern region in the country's south-east, according to local officials.
Moscow has intensified assaults on energy facilities over the last fortnight, while officials has demanded "real steps" from international partners to exert influence on Moscow.
"What is required is not window dressing but strong steps - from the United States, the EU and the major economies - in supplying air defence systems and enforcing sanctions," was stated in a public message.
Authorities reported that numerous aerial vehicles and more than 30 projectiles struck Ukraine's energy infrastructure, describing such strikes as "cynical and calculated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as temperatures become colder.
The energy minister said Russia was "inflicting a massive strike" and maintenance teams were laboring to restore power.
A wave of strikes damaged energy infrastructure and residential structures in the capital.
Multiple people hurt in the attacks on the city have been taken to hospital, as confirmed by municipal representatives.
Area administrators said the city came under significant strikes overnight. A seven-year-old child lost their life and multiple civilians were wounded.
The attacks succeed periods of aerial attacks in the region, sections of which remain under the control of invading troops.
The entire country is in a state of readiness for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are tougher to identify.
Authorities told reporters that Moscow was purposely seeking to destroy the electrical infrastructure, with assaults already impacting fuel infrastructure.
Officials stated technical personnel and officials were bracing for additional strikes.
