Ukrainians in the United Kingdom
Ethnic group
Summary
The first Ukrainians to settle in the United Kingdom arrived in the early 20th century just prior to the outbreak of World War I, settling in small pockets in the UK's largest cities. Following World War II, about 35,000 Ukrainians arrived in the country, aided by the implementation of the European Voluntary Worker (EVW) scheme. A second wave of immigration followed the 1991 dissolution of the Soviet Union and Ukraine's independence. The number of Ukrainian-born citizens residing in the UK increased dramatically following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022; the UK has issued 260,800 visas to Ukrainian refugees as of July 2024.
