During the night, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have resulted in electricity outages in extensive areas of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were injured while inhabitants in the city's east were plunged into darkness and faced disruption to water supplies, according to city officials.
At the same time, a minor was killed in a separate aerial attack in the Zaporizhzhia area in the country's south-east, based on information from regional authorities.
Russian forces has escalated assaults on electrical systems over the past few days, while the country's government has called for "real steps" from international partners to exert influence on Moscow.
"What's needed is not superficial actions but strong steps - from the United States, the EU and the major economies - in providing air defence systems and enforcing penalties," he wrote in a online statement.
Officials stated that numerous aerial vehicles and over thirty projectiles targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, characterizing such strikes as "strategic and deliberate" and against "essential services" as temperatures become colder.
Energy officials said Russia was "inflicting a massive strike" and repair crews were striving to repair systems.
A series of attacks struck energy infrastructure and civilian homes in Kyiv.
Five out of the nine people hurt in the strikes on the capital have been taken to hospital, per statements from municipal representatives.
Regional authorities said the metropolitan region came under significant strikes throughout the evening. A seven-year-old child was killed and three other people were injured.
The attacks come after nights of aerial attacks in the area, parts of which are currently controlled by invading troops.
The whole nation is in a state of readiness for advanced weapon attacks, which are more difficult to spot.
Government officials told journalists that Russia was purposely seeking to destroy the country's energy grid, with strikes already affecting gas facilities.
Authorities confirmed utility staff and officials were anticipating more assaults.
