Armenians in Ukraine (Armenian: Հայերն Ուկրաինայում, romanizedHayern Ukrainayum; Ukrainian: Вірмени в Україні, romanizedVirmeni v Ukrayini) are ethnic Armenians who live in Ukraine. They number 99,894 according to the 2001 Ukrainian census.[3] However, the country is also host to a number of Armenian guest workers which has yet to be ascertained. The Armenian population in Ukraine has nearly doubled since the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1989, largely due to instability in the Caucasus. Ukraine was home to the fifth largest Armenian community in the world before the invasion by Russia displaced millions of people.[4][5]
