Russian forces has escalated strikes on energy facilities over the last fortnight, while officials has requested "substantial measures" from allies to apply pressure on Russia.
"What's needed is not superficial actions but strong steps - from the America, the EU and the major economies - in delivering air defence systems and enforcing restrictions," mentioned in a social media post.
Authorities reported that 450 drones and over thirty projectiles targeted the country's power systems, describing such strikes as "premeditated" and against "critical infrastructure" as temperatures become colder.
Energy officials said Russia was "inflicting a massive strike" and technical staff were working to restore power.
A wave of strikes hit electrical systems and civilian homes in the capital.
Several of the people injured in the strikes on the capital have been taken to hospital, according to city authorities.
Local officials said the metropolitan region came under heavy assaults overnight. A seven-year-old child lost their life and multiple civilians were wounded.
The strikes follow periods of bombing campaigns in the territory, portions of which remain under the control of Russian forces.
