Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko said it was an "especially difficult night for Kyiv", where rescuers are searching through the rubble of a residential building after a combined missile and drone attack on the capital.
The overnight barrage followed a major attack on Wednesday - one of the largest Russia has mounted since the start of its full-scale invasion in 2022, with 892 drones launched.
It marks the third day in a row Ukraine has reported deaths, as Moscow ramps up its assault after a three-day ceasefire expired on Monday.
In the capital, a search and rescue operation began early Thursday to look for people under the rubble of a nine-storey apartment block which had been hit overnight.
Kyiv Mayor Vitaliy Klychko, who visited the building, said 18 apartments had been destroyed. He also said the attack had disrupted the city's water supply.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said dozens had been rescued from the building so far.
Damage had also been done to other residential buildings, a school, a veterinary clinic and other infrastructure, he added.
Zelensky said Russia's huge assault was "definitely not the actions of those who believe the war is coming to an end".
He urged Ukraine's allies not to remain silent about the strike.
The large-scale attack saw Russian drones flying across much of Ukraine, with the regions of Kremenchuk, Bila Tserkva, Kharkiv, Sumy, and Odesa also coming under fire, Prime Minister Svyrydenko said.
"Ukraine needs help in strengthening its air defense," she wrote on social media. "This is the only way to save our people and our cities."
Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha condemned Russian President Vladimir Putin for the "barbaric attack", which he said showed Moscow was pursuing "aggression and terror" over peace.
