Throughout the evening, Russian missile and drone strikes have caused blackouts in large parts of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.
A number of civilians were injured while inhabitants in the city's east were experienced blackouts and dealt with disruption to water supplies, according to local authorities.
At the same time, a young boy was killed in a different Russian drone strike in the southeastern region in the country's south-east, according to regional authorities.
Moscow has increased strikes on power infrastructure over recent weeks, while Ukrainian leadership has requested "real steps" from allies to exert influence on Russia.
"What is required is not symbolic gestures but firm measures - from the US, Europe and the G7 - in supplying protection systems and implementing restrictions," he wrote in a public message.
Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and several dozen projectiles targeted the country's power systems, characterizing such assaults as "premeditated" and against "critical infrastructure" as temperatures become colder.
Energy officials said Russia was "inflicting a massive strike" and technical staff were working to repair systems.
A barrage of missiles hit electrical systems and apartment buildings in Kyiv.
Five out of the nine people injured in the assaults on the capital have been transported for medical care, per statements from city authorities.
Regional authorities said the metropolitan region experienced significant strikes during nighttime hours. A young boy died and three other people were hurt.
The attacks come after nights of air raids in the area, parts of which remain under the control of Russian forces.
All of Ukraine is in a state of readiness for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are more difficult to identify.
Authorities told journalists that Moscow was intentionally trying to destroy the national power system, with assaults already affecting fuel infrastructure.
Officials stated utility staff and officials were anticipating additional strikes.
