Moscow has escalated attacks on energy facilities over the last fortnight, while Ukrainian leadership has requested "concrete actions" from allies to exert influence on Russia.
"What's needed is not symbolic gestures but firm measures - from the US, European nations and the G7 - in delivering defensive weapons and applying restrictions," was stated in a public message.
Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and more than 30 rockets targeted the country's power systems, labeling such attacks as "strategic and deliberate" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as the weather cools.
The energy minister said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and maintenance teams were working to fix the damage.
A barrage of missiles hit power facilities and apartment buildings in the capital.
Several of the people injured in the strikes on the capital have been taken to hospital, per statements from local officials.
Regional authorities said the city came under intense attacks overnight. A minor died and multiple civilians were hurt.
The strikes succeed nights of aerial attacks in the area, sections of which remain under the control of Russian forces.
All of Ukraine is under warning for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are tougher to spot.
Authorities told reporters that Moscow was intentionally trying to damage the national power system, with assaults already impacting gas facilities.
Officials stated energy workers and authorities were anticipating additional strikes.
