During the night, Russian missile and drone strikes have caused blackouts in extensive areas of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
Several individuals were injured while residents in eastern districts were left without electricity and faced interruptions to water supplies, as stated by local authorities.
At the same time, a young boy was fatally injured in a separate Russian drone strike in the southeastern region in the southern area, as reported by regional authorities.
Russian forces has increased assaults on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while the country's government has demanded "real steps" from partner nations to exert influence on Russia.
"The necessity is not symbolic gestures but strong steps - from the United States, the EU and the major economies - in delivering air defence systems and implementing sanctions," he wrote in a social media post.
He said that 450 drones and several dozen rockets attacked Ukraine's energy infrastructure, characterizing such attacks as "premeditated" and against "essential services" as the weather cools.
Government representatives said Russia was "inflicting a massive strike" and repair crews were striving to restore power.
A wave of strikes struck energy infrastructure and residential structures in the capital.
Five out of the nine people injured in the strikes on the capital have been transported for medical care, per statements from local officials.
Area administrators said the urban area came under significant strikes throughout the evening. A young boy was killed and three other people were injured.
The attacks follow nights of bombing campaigns in the territory, parts of which are currently controlled by Moscow's military.
The whole nation is under warning for advanced weapon attacks, which are tougher to spot.
Authorities told reporters that Russia was deliberately attempting to damage the national power system, with attacks already impacting fuel infrastructure.
Authorities confirmed utility staff and officials were bracing for further attacks.
