Overnight, Russian missile and drone strikes have caused blackouts in large parts of the capital city, Kyiv.

Several individuals were wounded while residents in eastern districts were experienced blackouts and faced disruption to water supplies, per reports from municipal leaders.

Moscow has intensified strikes on power infrastructure over the past few days, while officials has demanded "substantial measures" from allies to apply pressure on Moscow.

"What is required is not superficial actions but strong steps - from the America, the EU and the major economies - in supplying protection systems and enforcing sanctions," he wrote in a public message.

Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and more than 30 projectiles struck energy facilities, describing such strikes as "strategic and deliberate" and against "critical infrastructure" as temperatures become colder.

Energy officials said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were striving to repair systems.

A wave of strikes hit energy infrastructure and apartment buildings in Kyiv.
