According to the Interfax-Ukraine Culture project, the National Museum “Kyiv Art Gallery” opened the exhibition “Andriy Chebykin. MASTER AND WORKSHOP,” dedicated to the 80th birthday of Ukrainian graphic artist, educator, and academician Andriy Chebykin, the museum’s press service reports.
“The exhibition, organized to mark the master’s 80th birthday, does not sum up his career or erect a monument. Before us is the living creativity of an artist who continues to feel the thrill every time he picks up a brush or pencil,” the organizers note.
The exhibition is structured not as a retrospective but as a space for a living creative process—it combines Chebykin’s own works with those of his students, demonstrating the formation of the modern Ukrainian graphic arts school.
The exhibition is centered on two key themes of the artist: Woman and Nature. Through landscapes and the nude genre, the artist explores femininity, the fragility of existence, and states between calm and storm, virtue and desire.
Viewers are presented with the evolution of Chebykin’s work—from the classic etchings of the 1970s–1980s to the Crimean watercolors and refined nudes of the 1990s–2000s. Among the landmark works is “Premonitions” (2015–2020), which reflects on historical turning points and the power of love.
A separate section of the exhibition features the artist’s latest works, created amid the conditions of full-scale war. In particular, the drawing “The Enemy Was Shot Down Over Tatarka” (2022), a reaction to the shelling of Kyiv; the canvas “A Great Nation Is Being Born” (2023); and the new work “Purification” (2026), in which the artist shares a premonition of peace.
The exhibition also features the artist’s Carpathian impressions and reflections on the events of the current war.
A separate section of the project consists of works by graduates of Chebykin’s Free Graphics Workshop. As the organizers note, over 300 students have passed through his school during his 55 years of teaching at the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture, and the exhibition illustrates the educator’s guiding principle—the development of creative individuality.
The exhibition opening will take place on April 14 at 4:00 p.m. and will run until May 17, 2026.
The project was implemented under the direction of Yuriy Vakulenko, with Oksana Pidsukha serving as curator.
As reported, from April 6 to 10, the capital is hosting concerts, exhibitions, theater productions, and Easter events that make up the city’s cultural calendar.

According to Fixygen, on April 1 of this year, Uzbekistan issued sovereign international bonds denominated in local currency on global financial markets for an amount equivalent to $1 billion, at a historically low interest rate of 12.25%. This was reported by the Ministry of Economy and Finance.
For comparison: the yield on similar three-year issues in previous years was significantly higher—16.625% in 2024 and 15.5% in 2025. The decline in borrowing costs reflects growing confidence among global investors in the republic’s macroeconomic stability and the reform agenda outlined in the “Uzbekistan-2030” Strategy.
Demand from foreign investors was overwhelming.
During the auction on April 1, nearly 50 major funds from the U.S., Europe, Asia, and the Middle East submitted bids totaling 24.3 trillion soums, which was four times the initial offering. As a result, bonds worth 12.2 trillion soums were successfully placed. Notably, the final yield was even lower than the yield on Uzbekistan’s domestic financial market.
The relevant agency highlighted the uniqueness of the event: this issuance of Eurobonds in the national currency became the largest transaction of its kind in Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa over the past 15 years. The success of the placement confirmed the stability of the country’s economy even amid ongoing geopolitical tensions worldwide.
According to Fixygen, PJSC “Odessa Sugar Company” plans to hold its annual shareholders’ meeting on April 10, 2026, in a remote format. The agenda includes traditional items—approval of the 2025 performance results, financial statements, distribution of profits or coverage of losses, as well as decisions regarding corporate governance.
The company is registered in the Odesa region and has historically been involved in sugar beet processing and sugar production; however, like many companies in the industry, it has been operating in recent years amid high volatility in raw material supplies and prices.
Ukraine’s sugar industry as a whole is undergoing a period of transformation: reduced acreage, rising energy and logistics costs, and competition from cheaper imports are impacting the financial results of companies, including the Odessa Sugar Company.
On April 7, the General Directorate for the Support of Foreign Missions announced a tender for property insurance.
According to the Prozorro electronic government procurement system, the estimated cost of vehicle insurance is 180,200 UAH.
The deadline for submitting bids is April 15.
According to Fixygen, the pharmaceutical company “Spratli,” PJSC, will hold a virtual annual shareholders’ meeting on April 10, 2026. This is stated in the notice convening the meeting, published on the issuer’s official website on March 9.
The company is registered in Kyiv, with a charter capital of UAH 900,000; its CEO is Iryna Zolotko. According to Opendatabot, Iryna Zolotko is listed as the sole shareholder in the registry, holding a 100% stake.
The company’s latest available financial indicators in public registries look weak: revenue for 2025 amounted to 6.94 million UAH, net loss—2.33 million UAH, and total assets as of the end of 2025—6.08 million UAH.
