Ukrainians in Uruguay
Ukrainians of Uruguay are an ethnic minority in Uruguay.
Ukrainians arrived in Uruguay around the 1920s, coming from Western Ukraine, Bukovina and Transcarpathian Ukraine,[1] as well as some immigrants from Argentina.[2] During the last years of the World War II, many displaced people came from Europe.[1]
According to Ukrainian sources, nowadays there are several thousands of people of Ukrainian descent living in Uruguay.[1] Other local sources report about just hundreds of people of Ukrainian descent living in Uruguay, mainly in Salto Department;[3] further, the 2011 Uruguayan census revealed 70 people who declared Ukraine as their country of birth.[4] A recent bilateral agreement aims at further research on Ukrainian roots in Uruguay.[3]
