Overnight, Russian aerial assaults have led to power cuts in large parts of the capital city, Kyiv.
A number of civilians were wounded while residents in the city's east were plunged into darkness and dealt with interruptions to water systems, as stated by city officials.
Meanwhile, a seven-year-old child was lost their life in a different Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia region in the country's south-east, according to regional authorities.
Moscow has increased strikes on energy facilities over the past few days, while Ukrainian leadership has demanded "substantial measures" from allies to apply pressure on Russia.
"What is required is not superficial actions but decisive action - from the America, European nations and the Group of Seven - in delivering defensive weapons and enforcing penalties," was stated in a online statement.
He said that 450 drones and over thirty missiles struck Ukraine's energy infrastructure, characterizing such strikes as "cynical and calculated" and against "essential services" as temperatures become colder.
Government representatives said Russia was "launching a major assault" and technical staff were striving to restore power.
A series of attacks struck power facilities and residential structures in the capital.
Five out of the nine people hurt in the assaults on the city have been taken to hospital, per statements from municipal representatives.
Local officials said the urban area endured intense attacks during nighttime hours. A young boy was killed and multiple civilians were hurt.
The attacks come after nights of air raids in the region, portions of which are occupied by invading troops.
The whole nation is under warning for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are more difficult to detect.
Government officials told the media that Russia was purposely seeking to demolish the electrical infrastructure, with strikes already impacting energy systems.
He said technical personnel and officials were anticipating more assaults.
