Overnight, Russian aerial assaults have led to power cuts in large parts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
A number of civilians were hurt while residents in eastern neighborhoods were plunged into darkness and encountered interruptions to water systems, as stated by city officials.
Simultaneously, a seven-year-old child was killed in a different assault in the Zaporizhzhia area in the country's south-east, as reported by local officials.
Moscow has intensified strikes on electrical systems over the last fortnight, while officials has requested "substantial measures" from allies to apply pressure on Russia.
"The necessity is not superficial actions but strong steps - from the America, the EU and the G7 - in providing protection systems and enforcing sanctions," he wrote in a social media post.
Authorities reported that 450 drones and over thirty projectiles struck Ukraine's energy infrastructure, describing such attacks as "strategic and deliberate" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as temperatures become colder.
Energy officials said Moscow was "launching a major assault" and repair crews were laboring to repair systems.
A wave of strikes struck electrical systems and residential structures in the capital.
Five out of the nine people injured in the attacks on the capital have been hospitalized, as confirmed by city authorities.
Area administrators said the metropolitan region came under intense attacks overnight. A seven-year-old child died and several individuals were hurt.
The attacks succeed evenings of air raids in the region, parts of which are currently controlled by invading troops.
All of Ukraine is in a state of readiness for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are tougher to identify.
Government officials told the media that Russia was purposely seeking to demolish the country's energy grid, with strikes already impacting energy systems.
He said technical personnel and government agencies were preparing for additional strikes.
