Overnight, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have caused power cuts in extensive areas of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
Several individuals were wounded while inhabitants in eastern neighborhoods were plunged into darkness and encountered problems to drinking water, per reports from local authorities.
Meanwhile, a minor was killed in a distinct assault in the Zaporizhzhia area in the southeastern part, according to regional authorities.
Moscow has escalated strikes on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while the country's government has called for "real steps" from partner nations to apply pressure on Moscow.
"What's needed is not symbolic gestures but decisive action - from the United States, European nations and the G7 - in delivering air defence systems and enforcing sanctions," he wrote in a social media post.
He said that 450 drones and over thirty missiles targeted energy facilities, labeling such strikes as "cynical and calculated" and against "essential services" as the weather cools.
Energy officials said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and repair crews were working to fix the damage.
A wave of strikes hit electrical systems and residential structures in Kyiv.
Multiple people hurt in the attacks on the city have been taken to hospital, per statements from municipal representatives.
Area administrators said the city came under significant strikes overnight. A young boy lost their life and three other people were injured.
The attacks succeed evenings of bombing campaigns in the area, portions of which are occupied by Moscow's military.
The entire country is in a state of readiness for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are harder to spot.
Authorities told journalists that Moscow was deliberately attempting to destroy the electrical infrastructure, with strikes already impacting fuel infrastructure.
Officials stated utility staff and authorities were bracing for additional strikes.
