Overnight, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have led to electricity outages in multiple districts of the capital city, Kyiv.
Nine people were hurt while inhabitants in eastern neighborhoods were plunged into darkness and faced problems to water systems, according to city officials.
Simultaneously, a young boy was lost their life in a different Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southern area, as reported by area administrators.
Moscow has intensified assaults on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while Ukrainian leadership has called for "concrete actions" from international partners to apply pressure on Moscow.
"What is required is not window dressing but firm measures - from the United States, European nations and the G7 - in providing defensive weapons and implementing restrictions," he wrote in a online statement.
Authorities reported that 450 drones and several dozen rockets struck Ukraine's energy infrastructure, labeling such strikes as "premeditated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as temperatures become colder.
The energy minister said Moscow was "launching a major assault" and maintenance teams were laboring to repair systems.
A barrage of missiles damaged energy infrastructure and civilian homes in the capital.
Five out of the nine people wounded in the assaults on the city have been taken to hospital, according to city authorities.
Local officials said the urban area came under significant strikes overnight. A young boy died and several individuals were wounded.
The assaults come after nights of bombing campaigns in the region, parts of which are currently controlled by Russian forces.
The whole nation is in a state of readiness for advanced weapon attacks, which are harder to spot.
Authorities told journalists that Russia was intentionally trying to destroy the electrical infrastructure, with strikes already impacting gas facilities.
Officials stated technical personnel and authorities were anticipating further attacks.
