Belarusians in Ukraine (Belarusian: Беларусы Украіны, romanizedBiełarusy Ukrainy; Ukrainian: Білоруси в Україні, romanizedBilorusy v Ukraini) are the third biggest minority after Russians. Unlike many other ethnic groups, Belarusians do not have any particular concentration in the country, but spread out relatively evenly across all regions.
