Add article description

Immigration into Ukraine post independence 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 Ichkeria (now part of Russia as the Chechen Republic).^[1] In January 2017 there were 3,302 foreigners with refugee status in Ukraine.^[2] Most refugees came from Afghanistan, Syria, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Russia and Somalia.^[2]

After the start of the war in Donbas in 2014 several hundred foreigners (mostly Russians and Belarusians) migrated to Ukraine to join its territorial defence battalions and army.^[3]
