Why is there no word for is in this sentence?

In Ukrainian, the present-tense verb to be is usually omitted.

So English The puncture is visible on the tire can be expressed without a separate word for is:

Прокол видно на шині.

Also, видно already carries the idea of is visible / can be seen, so adding a separate is-type word is not necessary.

What does видно mean here?

Видно here means visible, can be seen, or it is possible to see.

It is a very common Ukrainian predicative word used in impersonal-style sentences. In other words, the sentence does not focus on who sees it; it just states that the puncture is visible.
