Russian forces has increased attacks on energy facilities over the last fortnight, while officials has demanded "substantial measures" from allies to exert influence on Moscow.
"The necessity is not symbolic gestures but strong steps - from the United States, Europe and the major economies - in providing air defence systems and applying penalties," mentioned in a online statement.
Authorities reported that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and several dozen rockets struck Ukraine's energy infrastructure, labeling such assaults as "strategic and deliberate" and against "critical infrastructure" as temperatures become colder.
The energy minister said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and repair crews were striving to repair systems.
A barrage of missiles hit electrical systems and civilian homes in the capital.
Several of the people hurt in the strikes on the city have been taken to hospital, as confirmed by city authorities.
Area administrators said the urban area endured intense attacks overnight. A seven-year-old child was killed and several individuals were hurt.
The assaults succeed periods of aerial attacks in the region, parts of which remain under the control of Moscow's military.
The entire country is under warning for hypersonic Kinzhal missile strikes, which are tougher to detect.
Authorities told reporters that Russia was deliberately attempting to destroy the electrical infrastructure, with strikes already affecting fuel infrastructure.
Officials stated utility staff and authorities were bracing for further attacks.
