Overnight, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have led to power cuts in large parts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.
A number of civilians were injured while residents in eastern neighborhoods were plunged into darkness and faced interruptions to water supplies, according to local authorities.
Meanwhile, a minor was fatally injured in a distinct Russian drone strike in the southeastern region in the southern area, according to local officials.
Moscow has intensified attacks on energy facilities over the last fortnight, while the country's government has requested "concrete actions" from partner nations to increase pressure on Moscow.
"The necessity is not window dressing but decisive action - from the US, Europe and the major economies - in supplying defensive weapons and implementing sanctions," he wrote in a social media post.
Officials stated that numerous aerial vehicles and over thirty rockets targeted energy facilities, characterizing such strikes as "premeditated" and against "essential services" as winter approaches.
Government representatives said Russia was "launching a major assault" and technical staff were striving to repair systems.
A barrage of missiles struck power facilities and civilian homes in Kyiv.
Five out of the nine people injured in the strikes on the city have been transported for medical care, per statements from local officials.

The attacks succeed nights of bombing campaigns in the region, parts of which are occupied by Moscow's military.
All of Ukraine is under warning for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are tougher to spot.
National leaders told the media that Russia was intentionally trying to demolish the national power system, with strikes already disrupting gas facilities.
