Overnight, Moscow's aerial assaults have led to power cuts in extensive areas of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
A number of civilians were wounded while local people in eastern neighborhoods were plunged into darkness and faced problems to drinking water, according to city officials.
Meanwhile, a young boy was lost their life in a separate Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southern area, as reported by area administrators.
Moscow has intensified attacks on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while Ukrainian leadership has requested "substantial measures" from international partners to exert influence on Russia.
"What is required is not window dressing but strong steps - from the United States, the EU and the Group of Seven - in delivering air defence systems and applying penalties," mentioned in a online statement.
Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and more than 30 missiles struck the country's power systems, labeling such strikes as "cynical and calculated" and against "critical infrastructure" as temperatures become colder.
Government representatives said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and technical staff were striving to restore power.
A wave of strikes hit power facilities and civilian homes in Kyiv.
Several of the people wounded in the assaults on the capital have been hospitalized, per statements from city authorities.
Regional authorities said the metropolitan region experienced heavy assaults throughout the evening. A minor lost their life and multiple civilians were wounded.
The strikes succeed periods of bombing campaigns in the region, portions of which are occupied by Russian forces.
The entire country is on alert for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are more difficult to identify.
Authorities told journalists that Moscow was purposely seeking to damage the electrical infrastructure, with attacks already impacting gas facilities.
He said energy workers and authorities were preparing for further attacks.
