During the night, Russian missile and drone strikes have led to electricity outages in large parts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.
Nine people were hurt while residents in eastern districts were left without electricity and faced disruption to water systems, according to city officials.
Meanwhile, a minor was lost their life in a separate Russian drone strike in the southeastern region in the southern area, according to local officials.
Russian forces has increased attacks on power infrastructure over the last fortnight, while Ukrainian leadership has called for "real steps" from partner nations to apply pressure on Moscow.
"What's needed is not window dressing but strong steps - from the United States, the EU and the Group of Seven - in delivering protection systems and implementing restrictions," he wrote in a social media post.
He said that 450 drones and several dozen missiles targeted energy facilities, characterizing such assaults as "cynical and calculated" and against "critical infrastructure" as temperatures become colder.
The energy minister said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were laboring to restore power.
A wave of strikes damaged energy infrastructure and residential structures in Kyiv.
Five out of the nine people wounded in the assaults on the capital have been transported for medical care, per statements from municipal representatives.
Local officials said the urban area endured significant strikes overnight. A seven-year-old child was killed and several individuals were injured.
The strikes succeed evenings of bombing campaigns in the area, portions of which are occupied by invading troops.
The whole nation is on alert for advanced weapon attacks, which are more difficult to identify.
Government officials told journalists that Russia was purposely seeking to damage the national power system, with strikes already affecting energy systems.
Authorities confirmed utility staff and government agencies were anticipating further attacks.
