Ethnic Ukrainians are majority in the northern districts of Crimea (Ukrainian region occupied by Russia in 2014) Demography of Crimea

 The northern region of Crimea has historically been a stronghold of ethnic Ukrainians. This demographic makeup dates back to the late 18th century when significant Ukrainian migration occurred to the region, particularly along the northern coast. Over time, Ukrainians have formed a substantial majority of the population in this area, contributing to the region's cultural and linguistic identity. Their presence has been a defining characteristic of the northern part of Crimea, shaping its social, economic, and political landscape.
