Throughout the evening, Moscow's aerial assaults have led to power cuts in large parts of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.

Nine people were injured while local people in eastern neighborhoods were plunged into darkness and faced disruption to water supplies, per reports from local authorities.

Russian forces has intensified strikes on power infrastructure over recent weeks, while Ukrainian leadership has called for "concrete actions" from allies to apply pressure on Moscow.

"What is required is not superficial actions but firm measures - from the America, Europe and the Group of Seven - in providing protection systems and implementing sanctions," he wrote in a social media post.

He said that 450 drones and over thirty rockets targeted the country's power systems, describing such strikes as "cynical and calculated" and against "essential services" as winter approaches.

Energy officials said Russia was "launching a major assault" and repair crews were striving to restore power.

A series of attacks hit power facilities and apartment buildings in the capital.

Multiple people hurt in the strikes on the capital have been transported for medical care, according to municipal representatives.
