Afro-Ukrainians

Afro-Ukrainians or Black Ukrainians (Ukrainian: Афроукраїнці, Ukrainian: Темношкірі Dark-skinned), are Ukrainians of dark-skinned African or American descent, including black people who have settled in Ukraine and their mixed race children. Black Ukrainians are multi-lingual knowing both Russian and Ukrainian aside of their native languages and aware of the cultural conflict in Ukraine between the Ukrainian and Russian languages.[1][2][3] Population of Afro-Ukrainians is rather small and mostly concentrated in major cities of Ukraine.
