Overnight, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have resulted in electricity outages in multiple districts of the capital city, Kyiv.
A number of civilians were hurt while residents in eastern neighborhoods were plunged into darkness and encountered interruptions to drinking water, according to city officials.
Simultaneously, a seven-year-old child was fatally injured in a different assault in the southeastern region in the country's south-east, according to area administrators.
Moscow has increased strikes on power infrastructure over recent weeks, while the country's government has demanded "concrete actions" from allies to increase pressure on Russia.
"The necessity is not window dressing but strong steps - from the America, European nations and the Group of Seven - in delivering defensive weapons and implementing penalties," he wrote in a social media post.
Officials stated that numerous aerial vehicles and over thirty missiles targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, characterizing such strikes as "cynical and calculated" and against "essential services" as the weather cools.
The energy minister said Russia was "inflicting a massive strike" and repair crews were striving to fix the damage.
A wave of strikes damaged power facilities and civilian homes in the capital.
Several of the people wounded in the assaults on the capital have been transported for medical care, as confirmed by municipal representatives.
Regional authorities said the metropolitan region endured intense attacks throughout the evening. A minor lost their life and several individuals were injured.
The assaults succeed evenings of bombing campaigns in the territory, sections of which are currently controlled by Moscow's military.
All of Ukraine is on alert for advanced weapon attacks, which are harder to spot.
Government officials told the media that Russia was deliberately attempting to destroy the electrical infrastructure, with strikes already impacting gas facilities.
Authorities confirmed technical personnel and authorities were bracing for further attacks.
