Overnight, Russian aerial assaults have caused electricity outages in multiple districts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
A number of civilians were injured while residents in eastern districts were left without electricity and encountered problems to water supplies, as stated by municipal leaders.
Meanwhile, a young boy was lost their life in a separate aerial attack in the Zaporizhzhia region in the country's south-east, according to regional authorities.
Moscow has increased attacks on energy facilities over the last fortnight, while the country's government has called for "substantial measures" from international partners to increase pressure on Moscow.
"What's needed is not superficial actions but decisive action - from the United States, Europe and the Group of Seven - in delivering protection systems and applying penalties," he wrote in a social media post.
He said that 450 drones and more than 30 projectiles attacked the country's power systems, characterizing such attacks as "cynical and calculated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as temperatures become colder.
The energy minister said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were laboring to repair systems.
A series of attacks damaged power facilities and residential structures in the capital.
Multiple people hurt in the assaults on the city have been taken to hospital, according to municipal representatives.
Local officials said the metropolitan region experienced intense attacks overnight. A seven-year-old child lost their life and several individuals were injured.
The assaults follow periods of bombing campaigns in the region, portions of which are occupied by Moscow's military.
The entire country is in a state of readiness for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are more difficult to detect.
Government officials told journalists that Moscow was intentionally trying to destroy the country's energy grid, with assaults already disrupting energy systems.
Authorities confirmed technical personnel and officials were bracing for additional strikes.
