Overnight, Moscow's aerial assaults have caused electricity outages in large parts of the capital city, Kyiv.
Several individuals were wounded while residents in the city's east were plunged into darkness and faced disruption to water systems, as stated by city officials.
Simultaneously, a seven-year-old child was killed in a separate assault in the southeastern region in the country's south-east, according to local officials.
Moscow has escalated strikes on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while officials has called for "real steps" from international partners to exert influence on Russia.
"The necessity is not superficial actions but strong steps - from the US, Europe and the Group of Seven - in providing air defence systems and applying restrictions," he wrote in a social media post.
He said that 450 drones and over thirty projectiles attacked the country's power systems, labeling such assaults as "cynical and calculated" and against "essential services" as the weather cools.
The energy minister said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were laboring to repair systems.
A wave of strikes hit power facilities and residential structures in the capital.
Several of the people injured in the assaults on the city have been transported for medical care, as confirmed by city authorities.
Local officials said the metropolitan region endured heavy assaults overnight. A minor died and multiple civilians were injured.
The attacks come after evenings of air raids in the territory, portions of which are occupied by Russian forces.
The entire country is on alert for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are more difficult to identify.
National leaders told the media that Moscow was intentionally trying to damage the electrical infrastructure, with assaults already disrupting gas facilities.
He said energy workers and government agencies were preparing for further attacks.
