Moscow has intensified strikes on energy facilities over the past few days, while the country's government has called for "real steps" from international partners to exert influence on Russia.
"The necessity is not symbolic gestures but firm measures - from the America, the EU and the Group of Seven - in providing defensive weapons and enforcing penalties," was stated in a online statement.
Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and more than 30 projectiles attacked the country's power systems, characterizing such attacks as "premeditated" and against "critical infrastructure" as winter approaches.
Government representatives said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and technical staff were laboring to restore power.
A wave of strikes struck electrical systems and apartment buildings in Kyiv.
Five out of the nine people injured in the strikes on the capital have been transported for medical care, as confirmed by local officials.
Area administrators said the metropolitan region came under significant strikes throughout the evening. A young boy died and three other people were hurt.
The assaults succeed periods of air raids in the region, sections of which are currently controlled by invading troops.
All of Ukraine is under warning for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are harder to identify.
