During the night, Russian missile and drone strikes have resulted in power cuts in large parts of the capital city, Kyiv.
Nine people were injured while local people in the city's east were experienced blackouts and faced disruption to drinking water, as stated by city officials.
Meanwhile, a seven-year-old child was lost their life in a different Russian drone strike in the southeastern region in the southeastern part, based on information from local officials.
Moscow has intensified attacks on power infrastructure over the past few days, while the country's government has requested "substantial measures" from allies to increase pressure on Russia.
"The necessity is not superficial actions but strong steps - from the America, the EU and the Group of Seven - in delivering air defence systems and implementing sanctions," mentioned in a social media post.
Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and more than 30 missiles targeted the country's power systems, labeling such strikes as "premeditated" and against "essential services" as temperatures become colder.
Energy officials said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were laboring to repair systems.
A wave of strikes damaged power facilities and residential structures in the capital.
Multiple people hurt in the strikes on the capital have been transported for medical care, as confirmed by local officials.
Area administrators said the metropolitan region came under significant strikes during nighttime hours. A minor was killed and multiple civilians were injured.
The attacks succeed periods of aerial attacks in the territory, parts of which remain under the control of Moscow's military.
The entire country is on alert for advanced weapon attacks, which are tougher to spot.
Authorities told reporters that Russia was purposely seeking to destroy the country's energy grid, with attacks already affecting fuel infrastructure.
Officials stated utility staff and authorities were preparing for more assaults.
