Ukrainians in Slovakia
Remove ads

The Ukrainians in Slovakia form a small minority in the country. Ukraine and Slovakia share a border, and eastern Slovakia has traditionally had several Ukrainian villages in the Carpathians (many of which are still there[according to whom?]).[citation needed] The town of Svidník is generally regarded as the capital of the Ukrainians in Slovakia, and has a museum dedicated to Ukrainian culture.[1] Although Ukraine shares a border with Slovakia and not the Czech Republic, the latter has far more Ukrainians (over ten times as much) than Slovakia due to an immigration boom. Still, since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, as well during the 2022 Ukrainian refugee crisis, the number of Ukrainians living in Slovakia increased, thus being larger in number than in Slovakia's southern neighbor, Hungary.
