Ukraine's Population Reaches 43.9 Million in 2020

According to estimates, Ukraine's population as of July 2020 stood at a staggering 43,922,939 people. This significant figure ranks Ukraine number 33 globally when comparing countries by their populations.

Language plays an essential role in Ukrainian culture and identity, with the official language being Ukrainian, spoken by approximately 67.5% of the population. Russian is also widely used as a regional language, accounting for around 29.6%. Additionally, there are smaller minority groups that speak other languages such as Crimean Tatar, Moldovan/Romanian, and Hungarian.

In recent years, Ukraine has seen significant developments in its language landscape. In February 2018, the Constitutional Court ruled on legislation passed in 2012 regarding regional languages. The ruling granted official status to any language spoken by at least 10% of an oblast's population. This move aimed to recognize the linguistic diversity within Ukrainian society and provide greater representation for minority groups.

With its unique cultural heritage and significant population growth, Ukraine remains a fascinating nation with much to offer in terms of history, culture, and people.
