Although many people consider питання and запитання complete synonyms, linguists argue with them on that. The differences:
- Запитання: appeal to someone that needs an answer, request.
- Питання: the problem that needs solving, agenda item, issue

As a Russian-speaker, 'питання' has got to win some kind of award for biggest false friend or something!

Wow! This is the first time I've seen the word 'є' ('is') used in a sentence! And, without a hyphen! That's great! (Now, I feel that Duolingo is actually hearing my concerns!) :) ДЯКУЮ!

"У мене є" is a kind of set phrase, but even here "є" can be omitted: "У мене питання" (sounds more colloquial).
