Moscow has increased attacks on electrical systems over the last fortnight, while officials has demanded "real steps" from international partners to increase pressure on Moscow.
"What's needed is not symbolic gestures but strong steps - from the America, the EU and the G7 - in supplying air defence systems and enforcing sanctions," was stated in a public message.
Authorities reported that 450 drones and several dozen missiles struck the country's power systems, describing such assaults as "strategic and deliberate" and against "critical infrastructure" as winter approaches.
The energy minister said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were working to fix the damage.
A wave of strikes hit electrical systems and civilian homes in the capital.
Several of the people hurt in the strikes on the capital have been hospitalized, according to local officials.
Regional authorities said the city experienced intense attacks during nighttime hours. A young boy was killed and three other people were hurt.
The attacks come after nights of air raids in the territory, portions of which remain under the control of Moscow's military.
All of Ukraine is in a state of readiness for sophisticated projectile assaults, which are tougher to spot.
Government officials told the media that Russia was purposely seeking to damage the electrical infrastructure, with strikes already impacting energy systems.
He said utility staff and officials were anticipating further attacks.
