Ukrainians in Kazakhstan

Ukrainian Kazakhstanis are an ethnic minority in Kazakhstan that according to the 1989 census numbered 896,000 people, or 5.4% of the population.[1] Due to subsequent emigration to Russia and Ukraine, this number had declined to 796,000 by 1998 and 456,997 in the 2009 census.[2]

Ukrainians occasionally called the lands in Northern Kazakhstan and Western Siberia as Grey Ukraine (Ukrainian: Сірий Клин).[3]
