Overnight, Moscow's aerial assaults have resulted in power cuts in multiple districts of the capital city, Kyiv.
Several individuals were injured while residents in eastern neighborhoods were experienced blackouts and faced problems to water supplies, per reports from local authorities.
At the same time, a young boy was fatally injured in a different aerial attack in the southeastern region in the southern area, as reported by regional authorities.
Moscow has intensified strikes on energy facilities over recent weeks, while Ukrainian leadership has demanded "substantial measures" from allies to exert influence on Russia.
"What's needed is not window dressing but strong steps - from the America, European nations and the Group of Seven - in supplying protection systems and enforcing restrictions," mentioned in a social media post.
Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and several dozen missiles attacked Ukraine's energy infrastructure, labeling such assaults 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 technical staff were laboring to fix the damage.
A barrage of missiles struck power facilities and residential structures in Kyiv.
Several of the people hurt in the attacks on the capital have been hospitalized, according to municipal representatives.
Regional authorities said the urban area experienced intense attacks throughout the evening. A young boy was killed and multiple civilians were hurt.
The assaults follow evenings of air raids in the region, parts of which are occupied by Moscow's military.
The whole nation is under warning for advanced weapon attacks, which are more difficult to spot.
National leaders told journalists that Russia was deliberately attempting to damage the country's energy grid, with strikes already affecting fuel infrastructure.
Authorities confirmed utility staff and authorities were preparing for further attacks.
