Immigration to the Czech Republic from Ukraine, primarily for economic reasons, began to grow significantly in the early 1990s following the end of the Cold War.^[2] In 1991, 8,500 Ukrainian citizens were recorded as living on Czech territory, with that number increasing to 132,481 as of October 2018^[update], according to the Czech Statistical Office.^[3] This made Ukrainians the largest expatriate group within the Czech Republic, comprising 30% of the country's total international population.^[4]

Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, the number of Ukrainians within the country increased drastically as thousands fled the war. As of July 31, 2023, over 357,000 refugees from Ukraine have been given temporary protection status within the Czech Republic, making the country the third largest destination for Ukrainians in the European Union.^[5]
