Overnight, Moscow's aerial assaults have resulted in power cuts in extensive areas of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were hurt while residents in the city's east were plunged into darkness and faced interruptions to drinking water, according to municipal leaders.
Simultaneously, a seven-year-old child was lost their life in a different aerial attack in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southern area, based on information from local officials.
Moscow has increased assaults on energy facilities over the past few days, while Ukrainian leadership has requested "concrete actions" from partner nations to increase pressure on Russia.
"The necessity is not window dressing but firm measures - from the US, European nations and the major economies - in supplying air defence systems and enforcing penalties," he wrote in a social media post.
He said that numerous aerial vehicles and several dozen projectiles struck the country's power systems, describing such attacks as "strategic and deliberate" and against "critical infrastructure" as the weather cools.
Government representatives said Moscow was "launching a major assault" and repair crews were striving to repair systems.
A barrage of missiles hit power facilities and civilian homes in the capital.
Multiple people wounded in the assaults on the capital have been taken to hospital, per statements from local officials.
Local officials said the urban area came under intense attacks during nighttime hours. A seven-year-old child lost their life and three other people were hurt.
The attacks come after nights of air raids in the territory, parts of which are occupied by invading troops.
The entire country is in a state of readiness for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are harder to detect.
Government officials told journalists that Russia was purposely seeking to damage the country's energy grid, with attacks already affecting gas facilities.
Officials stated energy workers and government agencies were preparing for more assaults.
