During the night, Russian aerial assaults have caused blackouts in large parts of the capital city, the Ukrainian capital.

He said that numerous aerial vehicles and more than 30 projectiles attacked Ukraine's energy infrastructure, characterizing such assaults as "premeditated" and against "essential services" as temperatures become colder.

Government representatives said Moscow was "launching a major assault" and repair crews were striving to restore power.

The strikes follow nights of bombing campaigns in the area, sections of which are occupied by Moscow's military.
