Because Ukrainian normally omits the present-tense verb to be.

So:

Why is кухня written as кухні here?

Because after на when it means in/on/at a place, Ukrainian usually uses the locative case.

• dictionary form: кухня = kitchen
• locative singular: на кухні = in the kitchen

So the ending changes:

• кухня → кухні

This is a very common pattern for feminine nouns ending in -я.
