During the night, Russian missile and drone strikes have resulted in electricity outages in multiple districts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
Nine people were wounded while residents in eastern neighborhoods were plunged into darkness and dealt with disruption to drinking water, according to municipal leaders.
Meanwhile, a young boy was lost their life in a different aerial attack in the southeastern region in the country's south-east, based on information from regional authorities.
Moscow has intensified strikes on power infrastructure over the past few days, while Ukrainian leadership has requested "concrete actions" from partner nations to increase pressure on Russia.
"What's needed is not window dressing but decisive action - from the United States, the EU and the G7 - in providing air defence systems and implementing penalties," he wrote in a social media post.
Authorities reported that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and more than 30 projectiles struck Ukraine's energy infrastructure, characterizing such assaults as "cynical and calculated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as temperatures become colder.
The energy minister said Russia was "inflicting a massive strike" and maintenance teams were striving to restore power.
A series of attacks struck electrical systems and apartment buildings in Kyiv.
Multiple people hurt in the strikes on the city have been taken to hospital, according to municipal representatives.
Local officials said the metropolitan region came under significant strikes throughout the evening. A young boy was killed and multiple civilians were hurt.
The strikes come after evenings of bombing campaigns in the area, sections of which remain under the control of invading troops.
The whole nation is on alert for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are harder to detect.
Government officials told the media that Russia was deliberately attempting to damage the country's energy grid, with attacks already impacting fuel infrastructure.
Officials stated energy workers and officials were anticipating further attacks.
