Russian forces has increased assaults on electrical systems over recent weeks, while officials has called for "substantial measures" from partner nations to apply pressure on Russia.

"What's needed is not symbolic gestures but strong steps - from the United States, Europe and the G7 - in providing air defence systems and implementing sanctions," he wrote in a public message.

Authorities reported that 450 drones and more than 30 projectiles struck the country's power systems, labeling such attacks as "cynical and calculated" and against "essential services" as temperatures become colder.

Energy officials said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and technical staff were laboring to restore power.

A barrage of missiles damaged power facilities and civilian homes in Kyiv.

Multiple people wounded in the assaults on the city have been transported for medical care, per statements from local officials.

Local officials said the urban area came under significant strikes during nighttime hours. A seven-year-old child died and several individuals were hurt.

The strikes follow evenings of air raids in the territory, portions of which are currently controlled by Moscow's military.

National leaders told journalists that Moscow was deliberately attempting to demolish the national power system, with attacks already impacting fuel infrastructure.

He said energy workers and authorities were preparing for additional strikes.
