Immigration to Ukraine
Immigration into Ukraine post independence has been mainly ethnic Ukrainians returning from neighboring countries. Other significant immigrant groups included Crimean Tatars and people fleeing wars in Azerbaijan, Transnistria and Ichkeria. In January 2017, there were 3,302 foreigners with refugee status in Ukraine. Most refugees came from Afghanistan, Syria, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Russia and Somalia.
After the start of the war in Donbas in 2014, several hundred foreigners migrated to Ukraine to join its territorial defence battalions and army. Since the Russian Invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022, far fewer immigrants have been moving to Ukraine.
