Rescue workers made a desperate search for survivors after the attack hit a nine-story block of flats as residents slept.
Neighbours said the dead man was a father, whose young daughter and wife were both trapped in the rubble until rescuers managed to free them.
A Ukrainian air force spokesman said the strike was carried out with four to six long-range missiles fired from Russian bombers more than 1,000 kilometres away in the southern Russian region of Astrakhan.
They said rockets also struck the central city of Cherkasy, which until now had been largely untouched by Russian weapons, as well as a strategic bridge linking western Ukraine and the eastern battlefields.
In Kyiv last night, emergency workers were continuing to search for survivors among the ruins of the apartment block.
Other residents from the lower part of the building had to be evacuated in their night clothes.
Explosions
A nursery was also hit in the attack as up to four explosions shook the capital in the first such onslaught on the city in weeks.
US President Joe Biden last night condemned the bombardment as “barbarism”.
Andriy Yermak, head of the Ukrainian president’s administration, said: “The Russians hit Kyiv again. Missiles damaged an apartment building and a kindergarten.”
