During the night, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have resulted in power cuts in multiple districts of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were wounded while local people in eastern neighborhoods were plunged into darkness and faced disruption to water systems, per reports from local authorities.
Simultaneously, a seven-year-old child was lost their life in a separate Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia area in the southeastern part, as reported by local officials.
Moscow has increased attacks on power infrastructure over the past few days, while Ukrainian leadership has demanded "substantial measures" from allies to exert influence on Russia.
"What's needed is not window dressing but decisive action - from the America, European nations and the major economies - in supplying air defence systems and implementing restrictions," he wrote in a social media post.
Authorities reported that numerous aerial vehicles and more than 30 projectiles targeted the country's power systems, labeling such strikes as "strategic and deliberate" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as the weather cools.
Government representatives said Russia was "inflicting a massive strike" and repair crews were working to repair systems.
A wave of strikes hit energy infrastructure and apartment buildings in Kyiv.
Multiple people wounded in the strikes on the city have been transported for medical care, as confirmed by local officials.
Area administrators said the city experienced intense attacks throughout the evening. A seven-year-old child died and multiple civilians were injured.
The assaults come after evenings of bombing campaigns in the area, sections of which are currently controlled by invading troops.
All of Ukraine is in a state of readiness for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are harder to identify.
Government officials told the media that Russia was purposely seeking to destroy the electrical infrastructure, with attacks already impacting energy systems.
Authorities confirmed utility staff and officials were anticipating more assaults.
