Luggage And Bags: Somethink like rucksack or a small easy bag. Be ready to walk a lot and it mostn't make you feel non-comfortable.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Spare shoes. It's absolutely necessary, they must be comfortable. The landscape of Kyiv is very nice as a view but exhausting for tourists.
Don't try to observe the city in 1 day, which is perhaps possible for any other town in Ukraine, but definitely not Kyiv. Lying on the high hills, it makes you go up and down dozens times a day. You won't feel your legs after that.
Toiletries & Medical Supplies: I think, as usual, you should keep some medicins rom the headaiche.
And yes.. the very important point. For the people suffering of allergy! If you come in June in particular.
In Kyiv there are many trees and one of them is Lombardy poplar. When they're bloomy, the city is covered with poplar fluff, of which people with allergy almost suffocate. So just bear it in mind.
Photo Equipment: Photo or video camera,, usual tourists stuff
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: If you come at summer time, take the swim-dress.
In this point Kyiv is the unique city where there are absolutely no problems with beaches and swimming.
Apart Dnipro river, there are a lot of lakes in all the districts of the town, so, wherever you will stay (in a hotel of at friends, private appartment) you'll find a place to escape the summer heat which is often almost unbearable.
