The police said a criminal case on suspicion of premeditated murder had been opened.
A local television station said at least 19 bullet holes could be seen on the driver’s side of the car.
A senior lawmaker said the aide, Serhiy Shefir, was not hurt.
Shefir is close to the president, leading a group of advisers.
The head of the president’s political party, Oleksandr Korniienko, said Russia could be behind the attack.
A Russian trace should not be absolutely ruled out.
“We know their ability to organise terrorist attacks in different countries,” Korniienko told reporters.
The Kremlin said suggestions of Russian involvement “have nothing to do with reality”.
