Overnight, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have led to electricity outages in large parts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
Several individuals were injured while local people in eastern districts were left without electricity and faced disruption to water supplies, according to municipal leaders.
Simultaneously, a minor was killed in a different Russian drone strike in the Zaporizhzhia area in the southeastern part, according to regional authorities.
Russian forces has increased strikes on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while the country's government has called for "real steps" from partner nations to exert influence on Russia.
"The necessity is not symbolic gestures but strong steps - from the United States, the EU and the Group of Seven - in delivering air defence systems and implementing restrictions," he wrote in a social media post.
He said that numerous aerial vehicles and more than 30 rockets attacked the country's power systems, labeling such strikes as "cynical and calculated" and against "essential services" as temperatures become colder.
Energy officials said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were striving to fix the damage.
A barrage of missiles damaged electrical systems and apartment buildings in Kyiv.
Several of the people injured in the attacks on the capital have been transported for medical care, as confirmed by local officials.
Regional authorities said the metropolitan region endured heavy assaults throughout the evening. A seven-year-old child died and multiple civilians were injured.
The attacks come after evenings of bombing campaigns in the region, parts of which are occupied by invading troops.
The entire country is on alert for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are more difficult to spot.
Authorities told reporters that Russia was purposely seeking to destroy the electrical infrastructure, with strikes already impacting gas facilities.
He said technical personnel and government agencies were preparing for more assaults.
