Throughout the evening, Russian aerial assaults have caused electricity outages in multiple districts of the capital city, Kyiv.
Nine people were wounded while inhabitants in the city's east were plunged into darkness and encountered problems to drinking water, according to local authorities.
Simultaneously, a young boy was lost their life in a different aerial attack in the southeastern region in the southeastern part, based on information from regional authorities.
Moscow has escalated strikes on energy facilities over the past few days, while Ukrainian leadership has called for "concrete actions" from allies to apply pressure on Moscow.
"The necessity is not symbolic gestures but firm measures - from the United States, the EU and the Group of Seven - in supplying protection systems and enforcing sanctions," he wrote in a public message.
He said that 450 drones and over thirty projectiles attacked energy facilities, characterizing such assaults as "cynical and calculated" and against "critical infrastructure" as winter approaches.
The energy minister said Russia was "inflicting a massive strike" and technical staff were striving to restore power.
A wave of strikes hit power facilities and apartment buildings in Kyiv.
Five out of the nine people wounded in the strikes on the capital have been hospitalized, as confirmed by municipal representatives.
Local officials said the city endured significant strikes overnight. A seven-year-old child was killed and multiple civilians were hurt.
The attacks succeed nights of air raids in the territory, sections of which remain under the control of Moscow's military.
All of Ukraine is under warning for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are harder to identify.
Authorities told reporters that Russia was deliberately attempting to damage the national power system, with strikes already affecting fuel infrastructure.
Officials stated technical personnel and officials were preparing for further attacks.
