Russia has launched a fresh round of airstrikes on Ukraine, targeting the capital Kyiv, and damaging several buildings.
President Volodymyr Zelensky says Ukrainian air defence forces shot down 13 drones.
Russia has been repeatedly targeting the country's energy infrastructure in recent months, in what Ukraine says is a bid to demoralise its population.
Ukrainians are now hunkering down for a cold winter with patchy or limited access to electricity, heat, and water.
Vladimir Putin's "special military operation", which was meant to seize Kyiv within 3 days, has now become bogged down in a 10 month-long war of attrition.
Ukraine has reclaimed about half of the territory Russia captured since the start of the war, but four Ukrainian provinces remain illegally annexed by Putin.
The outcome of the war still remains highly uncertain as Ukraine struggles to maintain its independence from the Kremlin.
