Overnight, Russian aerial assaults have led to power cuts in large parts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
A number of civilians were injured while local people in the city's east were experienced blackouts and dealt with problems to water systems, according to municipal leaders.
At the same time, a young boy was killed in a different Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia region in the southeastern part, as reported by regional authorities.
Moscow has intensified assaults on energy facilities over recent weeks, while officials has demanded "substantial measures" from allies to increase pressure on Moscow.
"What is required is not superficial actions but strong steps - from the America, European nations and the G7 - in delivering protection systems and applying restrictions," he wrote in a social media post.
Officials stated that numerous aerial vehicles and more than 30 projectiles struck energy facilities, labeling such attacks as "cynical and calculated" and against "critical infrastructure" as temperatures become colder.
The energy minister said Russia was "launching a major assault" and maintenance teams were striving to restore power.
A series of attacks struck energy infrastructure and civilian homes in the capital.
Multiple people hurt in the strikes on the capital have been taken to hospital, per statements from local officials.
Local officials said the city endured significant strikes throughout the evening. A young boy was killed and three other people were wounded.
The assaults come after periods of aerial attacks in the area, portions of which are currently controlled by invading troops.
The whole nation is under warning for advanced weapon attacks, which are harder to spot.
Government officials told journalists that Moscow was deliberately attempting to demolish the country's energy grid, with strikes already affecting gas facilities.
He said utility staff and officials were preparing for further attacks.
