During the night, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have led to power cuts in extensive areas of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were wounded while inhabitants in the city's east were left without electricity and encountered problems to water systems, as stated by local authorities.
Simultaneously, a seven-year-old child was killed in a separate assault in the Zaporizhzhia area in the country's south-east, based on information from area administrators.
Moscow has intensified assaults on electrical systems over the past few days, while Ukrainian leadership has called for "substantial measures" from allies to apply pressure on Moscow.
"What is required is not superficial actions but firm measures - from the US, the EU and the G7 - in delivering defensive weapons and implementing sanctions," mentioned in a online statement.
Authorities reported that 450 drones and several dozen projectiles targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, characterizing such strikes as "premeditated" and against "critical infrastructure" as temperatures become colder.
Government representatives said Russia was "inflicting a massive strike" and technical staff were working to restore power.
A wave of strikes damaged electrical systems and apartment buildings in the capital.
Five out of the nine people hurt in the attacks on the capital have been taken to hospital, as confirmed by municipal representatives.
Local officials said the metropolitan region endured intense attacks during nighttime hours. A young boy was killed and three other people were wounded.
The assaults succeed nights of aerial attacks in the region, parts of which remain under the control of Moscow's military.
The whole nation is under warning for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are tougher to detect.
Government officials told reporters that Moscow was intentionally trying to destroy the country's energy grid, with strikes already affecting gas facilities.
He said technical personnel and government agencies were preparing for further attacks.
