Overnight, Russian missile and drone strikes have resulted in blackouts in large parts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
Nine people were injured while inhabitants in eastern neighborhoods were experienced blackouts and dealt with problems to water systems, according to local authorities.
At the same time, a seven-year-old child was killed in a distinct Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southern area, as reported by local officials.
Moscow has intensified assaults on energy facilities over the last fortnight, while the country's government has requested "substantial measures" from allies to increase pressure on Moscow.
"The necessity is not window dressing but strong steps - from the United States, the EU and the Group of Seven - in supplying air defence systems and enforcing penalties," he wrote in a public message.
Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and several dozen missiles attacked the country's power systems, characterizing such assaults as "strategic and deliberate" and against "essential services" as the weather cools.
Energy officials said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and repair crews were working to fix the damage.
A series of attacks struck power facilities and residential structures in Kyiv.
Five out of the nine people hurt in the strikes on the city have been hospitalized, per statements from city authorities.
Area administrators said the urban area experienced significant strikes overnight. A seven-year-old child was killed and multiple civilians were injured.
The assaults succeed nights of air raids in the region, sections of which remain under the control of Russian forces.
All of Ukraine is in a state of readiness for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are tougher to spot.
National leaders told reporters that Russia was deliberately attempting to destroy the country's energy grid, with strikes already disrupting energy systems.
He said utility staff and authorities were bracing for more assaults.
