What are Ukrainian Easter Eggs?

Answer 1

Ukrainians make intricately decorated eggs for Easter. When people refer to "Ukrainian" Easter eggs, they are usually referring to pysanky, which are made using a batik (wax resist) method. Several types of decorated eggs are seen in Ukrainian tradition, and these vary throughout the regions of Ukraine. Krashankyare boiled eggs dyed a single color (with vegetable dyes), and are blessed and eaten at Easter.
Pysanky (from писати pysaty, "to write") are raw eggs created with the wax-resist method (batik). The designs are "written" in hot wax with a stylus or a pin-head. Wooden eggs and beaded eggs are often referred to as "pysanky" because they mimic the decorative style of pysanky in a different medium.
Krapanky (from крапка krapka, "a dot") are raw eggs decorated using the wax-resist method, but with only dots as ornamentation (no symbols or other drawings). They are traditionally created by dripping molten wax from a beeswax candle onto an egg.
Dryapanky (from дряпати dryapaty, "to scratch") are created by scratching the surface of a dyed egg to reveal the white shell below.
Malyovanky (from малювати malyuvaty, "to paint") are created by painting a design with a brush using oil or water color paints. It is sometimes used to refer to coloring (e.g. with a marker) on an egg.
Lystovanky (from листя lystya, "leaves") are created by dyeing an egg to which small leaves have been attached.

All but the krashanky are usually meant to be decorative (as opposed to edible), and the egg yolk and white are either allowed to dry up over time, or removed by blowing them out through a small hole in the egg.

Answer 2

The technique used to create the intricately ornamented Easter eggs in Ukraine is a version of batik, or wax resist. The eggs decorated by this method are called pysanky.
