During the night, Russian missile and drone strikes have caused blackouts in extensive areas of the capital city, Kyiv.
Several individuals were injured while inhabitants in eastern districts were left without electricity and dealt with interruptions to water supplies, as stated by city officials.
At the same time, a seven-year-old child was lost their life in a separate aerial attack in the Zaporizhzhia area in the southern area, according to regional authorities.
Moscow has increased strikes on electrical systems over the past few days, while Ukrainian leadership has called for "substantial measures" from allies to exert influence on Russia.
"What's needed is not window dressing but decisive action - from the United States, the EU and the G7 - in delivering air defence systems and enforcing restrictions," he wrote in a public message.
He said that 450 drones and more than 30 missiles struck the country's power systems, characterizing such attacks as "cynical and calculated" and against "essential services" as temperatures become colder.
The energy minister said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and repair crews were striving to repair systems.
A barrage of missiles struck electrical systems and civilian homes in the capital.
Several of the people hurt in the assaults on the capital have been transported for medical care, per statements from municipal representatives.
Local officials said the city endured intense attacks throughout the evening. A young boy lost their life and three other people were hurt.
The strikes follow nights of aerial attacks in the region, portions of which remain under the control of Russian forces.
All of Ukraine is under warning for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are more difficult to spot.
National leaders told journalists that Russia was intentionally trying to destroy the country's energy grid, with assaults already affecting gas facilities.
