What Pampushky is
Small garlic bread rolls, served with borscht.
Pampushky is listed as a bakery item in the Ukraine guide, where the index tags it vegetarian. That is the useful shorthand, but it is not the whole story: the same name can cover a breakfast version, a street version and a restaurant version with different garnishes and prices.
Where to find Pampushky
Pampushky is listed as nationwide rather than tied to one city, so it is a safe thing to look for wherever you land in Ukraine. Bakeries sell out early, so go in the morning and follow the queue rather than the signboard.
