Overnight, Moscow's aerial assaults have resulted in power cuts in multiple districts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
Nine people were injured while residents in the city's east were plunged into darkness and dealt with disruption to water systems, as stated by city officials.
At the same time, a seven-year-old child was killed in a different Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southern area, according to area administrators.
Moscow has intensified strikes on electrical systems over recent weeks, while Ukrainian leadership has called for "substantial measures" from allies to apply pressure on Moscow.
"What is required is not superficial actions but strong steps - from the America, the EU and the Group of Seven - in providing air defence systems and implementing sanctions," he wrote in a online statement.
Officials stated that 450 drones and more than 30 rockets targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, characterizing such strikes as "strategic and deliberate" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as the weather cools.
Energy officials said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and technical staff were striving to fix the damage.
A barrage of missiles damaged electrical systems and civilian homes in the capital.
Five out of the nine people injured in the assaults on the capital have been taken to hospital, per statements from local officials.
Regional authorities said the city endured intense attacks overnight. A minor died and several individuals were injured.
The strikes succeed nights of aerial attacks in the region, portions of which remain under the control of Moscow's military.
The entire country is in a state of readiness for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are more difficult to detect.
National leaders told journalists that Russia was purposely seeking to damage the national power system, with strikes already disrupting fuel infrastructure.
Officials stated energy workers and authorities were bracing for more assaults.
