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 insignificant and mostly concentrated in major cities of Ukraine.
