Any damage inflicted on Ukraine's power and heating systems will seriously exacerbate living conditions this winter, especially for an estimated 6.9 million internally displaced people, the United Nations' migration agency said on Tuesday.

"We are making all efforts to assist the population in preparing for the winter but we need electricity, and that depends on state services to (restore) a working electricity system," said António Vitorino, director general of the International Organization of Migration (IOM), who met Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday.

In response to a Ukrainian counter-offensive in the east and south of the country in recent days, Russia has stepped up the shelling of power stations and other infrastructure, causing blackouts in the city of Kharkiv and elsewhere.

Moscow denies targeting civilians during what it calls its "special military operation" in Ukraine that began on Feb. 24.
