Ukrainian minority in Poland ( _uk. Українці, "Ukraintsi", _pl. Ukraińcy) is composed of 27,172 people according to the Polish census of 2002. Most of them live in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship.[pl icon [http://www.mswia.gov.pl/portal/pl/61/37/ Mniejszości narodowe i etniczne w Polsce] on the pages of Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs and Administration. Retrieved on 9 September 2007.] ]Most numerous concentrations of Ukrainians are in the north east (Olsztyn and Elbląg), north west (Słupsk and Koszalin) and south west of Poland (Legnica and Wrocław). There are some Lemko-Rusyns in Poland that are officially categorized as an "ethnic" (rather than a "national") minority, since there is no Lemko nation-state.
After the quashing of a Ukrainian insurrection at the end of World War II by the Soviet Union, about 140,000 Ukrainians remaining in Poland were forcibly moved to northern and western Poland in Operation Vistula ( _pl. Akcja Wisła). Since 1989, there has been a new wave of Ukrainian immigration, mostly of jobseekers, which is concentrated in larger cities.
