List of numbers of people immigrating to Ukraine by country
Immigration into Ukraine (postindependence (1991)) has been mainly ethnic Ukrainians already living in nearby countries (for example in 1993 they were 90% of all immigrants); other immigrants were mostly Crimean Tatars and people fleeing wars in Azerbaijan, Transnistria and Chechnya (a region in Russia).[1]
After the start of the War in Donbass in 2014 several hundreds foreigners (mostly Russians and Belarusians) migrated to Ukraine to join its territorial defence battalions and army.[2]
