Officials stated that 450 drones and several dozen rockets targeted energy facilities, characterizing such assaults as "strategic and deliberate" and against "essential services" as temperatures become colder.
The energy minister said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and technical staff were working to repair systems.
A series of attacks struck power facilities and residential structures in Kyiv.
Several of the people hurt in the strikes on the capital have been taken to hospital, per statements from local officials.
Area administrators said the city endured intense attacks during nighttime hours. A young boy died and three other people were hurt.
The attacks come after evenings of air raids in the territory, portions of which are currently controlled by Moscow's military.
The entire country is in a state of readiness for advanced weapon attacks, which are tougher to detect.
Authorities told the media that Russia was intentionally trying to damage the electrical infrastructure, with attacks already impacting gas facilities.
