During the night, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have resulted in power cuts in extensive areas of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
A number of civilians were wounded while local people in the city's east were plunged into darkness and faced problems to water supplies, according to local authorities.
Meanwhile, a minor was lost their life in a different Russian drone strike in the southeastern region in the country's south-east, based on information from regional authorities.
Moscow has increased strikes on energy facilities over the last fortnight, while Ukrainian leadership has requested "real steps" from partner nations to exert influence on Moscow.
"What is required is not window dressing but decisive action - from the United States, Europe and the major economies - in providing air defence systems and applying restrictions," he wrote in a online statement.
Authorities reported that numerous aerial vehicles and more than 30 rockets struck energy facilities, describing such strikes as "cynical and calculated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as temperatures become colder.
Government representatives said Russia was "launching a major assault" and technical staff were laboring to fix the damage.
A series of attacks damaged energy infrastructure and civilian homes in the capital.
Multiple people hurt in the attacks on the capital have been taken to hospital, per statements from local officials.
Local officials said the metropolitan region came under intense attacks throughout the evening. A minor was killed and several individuals were wounded.
The strikes succeed evenings of air raids in the territory, parts of which are currently controlled by Russian forces.
The entire country is in a state of readiness for advanced weapon attacks, which are more difficult to detect.
Government officials told the media that Moscow was deliberately attempting to demolish the country's energy grid, with strikes already impacting fuel infrastructure.
Officials stated utility staff and officials were bracing for additional strikes.
