Overnight, Russian missile and drone strikes have resulted in electricity outages in extensive areas of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
A number of civilians were injured while local people in eastern neighborhoods were experienced blackouts and encountered problems to water supplies, per reports from city officials.
Meanwhile, a seven-year-old child was killed in a different aerial attack in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southern area, based on information from regional authorities.
Moscow has escalated strikes on electrical systems over the past few days, while officials has demanded "substantial measures" from international partners to increase pressure on Russia.
"What is required is not window dressing but strong steps - from the America, Europe and the G7 - in delivering defensive weapons and implementing penalties," he wrote in a online statement.
Authorities reported that 450 drones and several dozen rockets attacked Ukraine's energy infrastructure, describing such strikes as "cynical and calculated" and against "essential services" as temperatures become colder.
Energy officials said Moscow was "launching a major assault" and technical staff were working to repair systems.
A wave of strikes damaged power facilities and apartment buildings in Kyiv.
Several of the people injured in the attacks on the capital have been transported for medical care, as confirmed by city authorities.
Area administrators said the city experienced heavy assaults during nighttime hours. A seven-year-old child was killed and multiple civilians were injured.
The attacks come after evenings of aerial attacks in the area, 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.
Government officials told reporters that Moscow was purposely seeking to destroy the country's energy grid, with strikes already impacting energy systems.
Authorities confirmed utility staff and authorities were bracing for further attacks.
