As of the end of 2022 the number ofUkrainians inGermany (German:Ukrainer in Deutschland) was approximately 1,164,200.[1][3] In 2021, before the start of theRussian invasion of Ukraine, it was of 155,310.[4] Germany's Ukrainians have created a number of institutions and organizations, such as the Central Association of Ukrainians in Germany and Association of Ukrainian Diaspora in Germany.
In 1999, a conflict arose involving theGerman Foreign MinisterJoschka Fischer, who eased conditions for citizens of theformer Soviet states to get German visas. Many people opposed this claim that it enabled thousands to enter Germany illegally using the abuse of visas granted to them. The majority of Ukrainians that are in Germany on scholarship are there on such visas, adding to the controversy.
Some Ukrainian organizations in Germany have accused Germans ofracism and prejudice, and of the belief that Ukrainians are only in Germany to work illegally.[5]
