During the night, Russian aerial assaults have led to electricity outages in extensive areas of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
A number of civilians were wounded while inhabitants in the city's east were plunged into darkness and encountered disruption to drinking water, according to local authorities.
At the same time, a minor was fatally injured in a different Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia area in the southeastern part, as reported by area administrators.
Moscow has intensified strikes on electrical systems over the past few days, while officials has demanded "concrete actions" from allies to exert influence on Russia.
"What is required is not superficial actions but strong steps - from the United States, the EU and the G7 - in delivering defensive weapons and enforcing sanctions," mentioned in a online statement.
Authorities reported that 450 drones and over thirty missiles struck energy facilities, labeling such strikes as "cynical and calculated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as temperatures become colder.
The energy minister said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and technical staff were striving to repair systems.
A series of attacks struck power facilities and residential structures in the capital.
Multiple people hurt in the attacks on the city have been taken to hospital, per statements from city authorities.
Regional authorities said the urban area came under significant strikes throughout the evening. A seven-year-old child lost their life and several individuals were wounded.
The attacks follow periods of air raids in the territory, parts of which are occupied by Moscow's military.
The entire country is in a state of readiness for advanced weapon attacks, which are more difficult to detect.
National leaders told journalists that Russia was intentionally trying to destroy the country's energy grid, with strikes already disrupting fuel infrastructure.
Officials stated utility staff and government agencies were bracing for further attacks.
