Ukrainian actress Kateryna Tyshkevych, who is currently eight months pregnant, along with her husband, actor Valentyn Tomusyak, has decided to temporarily leave Kyiv. The star couple plans to move to Vinnytsia, where they intend to prepare for the birth of their firstborn and settle into new living arrangements. This step is driven by a range of pragmatic, logistical, and spiritual factors, which the artists shared with their fans in detail on social media.
Logistics and Working Plans
As Valentyn Tomusyak explained, one of the key arguments in favor of Vinnytsia was its advantageous geographical location. The actor continues his active creative career and tour schedule, making it critically important for him to be able to travel promptly to other Ukrainian cities. According to him, if they had chosen more distant western regions such as Uzhhorod or Ivano-Frankivsk, the logistics would have become overly complicated and taken away too much time from his work with the theater troupe.
In turn, Kateryna Tyshkevych noted that staying in Vinnytsia makes it incredibly convenient to maintain ties with the capital. Getting to Kyiv is fast by train, bus, or car, which is vital for her career and potential filming projects. Furthermore, the expectant parents plan to bring their child to Kyiv clinics for routine medical check-ups, and Vinnytsia's geographical proximity to Kyiv will greatly facilitate regular trips.
Spiritual Community and Ashram
Aside from professional matters, the decision to relocate has deep personal foundations. The couple actively practices yoga, meditates, explores Hinduism, and maintains a close bond with their spiritual community. As the actress admitted, many of like-minded friends and associates live in Vinnytsia, forming a true spiritual family ready to offer support at any moment.
Moreover, the construction of an ashram is actively underway near the city following instructions from their spiritual guru, and the couple sincerely wants to participate in this process. Tyshkevych herself described this environment as an additional factor of safety and psychological comfort, emphasizing that friends have already assisted them with temporary accommodation and finding a permanent apartment for their family, including their pet cat.
